The state government of Bhubaneswar has recently addressed an important matter regarding IPS officer Ashish Kumar Singh. In a letter to the Director General of Police, Muralidhar Mallick, Officer on Special Duty and additional secretary of the Home department, requested information regarding Singh's leave. It was revealed that Singh had been granted a month-long leave, starting from May 4, 2025, due to health reasons. However, it has been more than a month since then and there has been no update on whether Singh has returned to his duties or extended his leave. As a result, the Home department is seeking clarification to take necessary action.
It should be noted that the Election Commission of India had previously instructed Singh to undergo a health check-up at AIIMS-Bhubaneswar. This was in response to complaints from the BJP that Singh was showing bias towards the BJD party during the elections, even though he was officially on sick leave. After a thorough examination by a six-member board at AIIMS, it was reported that Singh was in good mental and physical condition. Following this, the Election Commission wrote to the Chief Electoral Officer of Odisha, requesting the AIIMS report to be forwarded to the Chief Secretary for further action against the IPS officer.
The state government is now awaiting the response from the Director General of Police in order to proceed with the matter. It is important to ensure that all government officials are carrying out their duties diligently, especially during crucial times such as elections. The actions of one individual can greatly impact the outcome of an election, and it is essential to maintain fairness and transparency. The government is taking this matter seriously and is determined to take appropriate action based on the information provided by the Director General of Police.
