Suryaa National Desk: Bihar senior IPS officer, Director General of Special Task Force (STF) Kundan Krishnan sent Rs five crore defamation legal... Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) Buxar Lok Sabha MP Sudhakar Singh reacted strongly to the Rs 5 crore defamation legal notice sent by Bihar senior IPS officer and Special Task Force (STF) Director General Kundan Krishnan. He wrote a scathing 'open letter' to Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary regarding this controversy. Along with the letter, he also disclosed the six-page legal notice sent by the IPS officer on social media platforms. Background of the dispute – Bharat Bhushan Tiwari encounter case: A man named Bharat Bhushan Tiwari lost his life in a controversial encounter on June 17 this year in Bilouti village of Bhojpur district. STF forces also participated in that operation.
RJD MP Sudhakar Singh held a press conference on the incident and made serious allegations against the then STF DG Kundan Krishnan's decisive role. Expressing strong objection to this, IPS officer Kundan Krishnan issued a legal notice alleging that the MP deliberately made false and defamatory comments on a sensitive issue being investigated by the Judicial Inquiry Commission. The notice warned that a public apology should be given within 15 days, failing which criminal action would be taken along with a defamation suit of five crore rupees. Have you taken government permission? MP's questions to the CM: Sudhakar Singh, who stated that there is nothing to be done about these notices, made it clear that there is nothing to do with threats or police uniforms. In his letter to the Chief Minister, he posed several questions: It has been questioned whether a civil servant or an IPS officer has taken permission from the state government or the home ministry as per the service rules of the central and state government before sending a defamation notice to an elected public representative.
In the last two decades, some IAS and IPS officers have been accused of acting like rulers, forgetting that they are public servants, and MPs and MLAs are not even showing respect as public representatives. He made it clear that as a member of Parliament, he cannot suppress people's voices with legal threats. Neither the Chief Minister's office nor IPS officer Kundan Krishnan has issued any official statement on this controversy so far. This latest letter between the political and police circles is causing a lot of uproar in Bihar politics.
