Controversies Surrounding Khetrajpur IIC
Several incidents have sparked debate about his performance, including thefts, illegal liquor trade, tensions during five secretaries’ visits, group clashes, and a suicide attempt by a Congress leader. His handling of these matters has raised questions about his competence. The IIC was also reportedly involved in a recent controversy at the Samaleswari Temple.
The public has openly criticized the IIC’s lack of action on social media. Regardless of these criticisms, it remains unclear which “shield of protection” is preventing his transfer. This has become a hot topic in the police department.
