Amaravati: Senior Indian Police Service (IPS) officer Siddharth Kaushal, a 2012 batch officer of the Andhra Pradesh cadre, has voluntarily resigned from service, bringing an end to his decorated tenure in law enforcement.

In a detailed press statement, Mr Kaushal firmly denied reports alleging harassment or external pressure as reasons for his resignation, labeling such claims as “baseless and misleading.”

Decision “Personal and Independent”

This decision is made after deep personal reflection and is entirely independent, personal, and voluntary,” Mr. Kaushal said. “It aligns with my long-term life goals and the wishes of my family.”

He described his time in the IPS as “the most fulfilling and enriching journey of my life,” and expressed deep affection for the people of Andhra Pradesh. “This state has always been my home, and its people will remain in my heart with deep affection and pride.

Responds to Media Speculation

Responding to recent speculation, Mr. Kaushal categorically rejected any claims linking his resignation to coercion or workplace pressure. “I wish to state unequivocally that such claims are completely baseless and misleading,” he reiterated.

Despite the clarification, sources suggest that broader trends within the police service—such as prolonged posting delays and frequent transfers—may have influenced the timing of his departure.

Future in the Private Sector

According to reliable sources, Mr. Kaushal is expected to transition into the private sector, possibly taking up a senior corporate role in Delhi.

He said he looks forward to “contributing to society in new and meaningful ways.

Award-Winning Contributions

He received the DG Bureau of Police Research and Development Project Disc Award for implementing the Spandana video conference programme—a public engagement initiative launched before the COVID-19 pandemic.

His award was presented by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the All India DG-IG Conference 2020, where his work was praised for modernizing police-public interaction.
