The Uttar Pradesh Police demotes a DSP.
The Uttar Pradesh Police has demoted a Deputy Superintendent (DSP) back to the rank of a constable after he was caught having an extra-marital affair with a colleague. The man in question is former DSP and now constable Kripa Shankar Kannaujiya, who was caught in a hotel with a female constable three years ago.
Now posted as a constable.
Kripa Shankar Kannaujiya is now posted as a constable in the Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC) Gorakhpur battalion. On July 6, 2021, Kannaujiya, a Circle Officer (CO) in Unnao, requested leave from the then Unnao Superintendent of Police (SP) for family reasons. However, instead of going home, he reportedly checked into a hotel near Kanpur with a female constable, switching off his private and official phones.
Wife called for help from Unnao SP.
When his wife couldn’t reach her husband after continuously calling and finding his phone switched off, she sought help from Unnao SP, who discovered the CO’s mobile network was last active in a hotel in Kanpur. A police team reached the hotel and found the duo. The Unnao police also took video evidence.
Later, the then Inspector General of Police (IGP) recommended stern action against him. Kripa Shankar Kannaujiya is now posted as a constable.
