Officer in row with Satyendar Jain quits Danics body

A senior officer, who had alleged “misbehaviour” by transport minister Satyendar Jain earlier this week, has quit Danics Officers’ Association which, he accused, did not “support” him in the matter.

In a meeting of Danics Officers’ Association held on Friday, special transport commissioner Indushekhar Mishra found himself alone when most members did not pay heed to his issue pertaining to alleged “misbehaviour” by the minister and instead raised other matters.

Mr Mishra, a 1993-batch Danics officer, said he was upset with some members of the association who, sources said, claimed he was at “fault”. He was Friday transferred from the transport department and posted as special commissioner in the employment department.

In a message to the association, he said, “I repent attending the (yesterday) meeting. Alone I was able to bring back them on back foot... My transfer order clearly shows that when you are loyal you can be promoted like anything. It was a lone battle for me. Now onwards I feel ashamed in saying myself a member of this (Danics officers) association and am now not a member of the association and will never participate in any meeting”.
