The public fight between the two officers had resulted in a major controversy in Karnataka both were left without any posting for a few months
There seems to be no end in sight for the public fight between Rohini Sindhuri, a 2009-batch IAS officer and D Roopa, a 2009-batch IPS officer. Advocates for the IAS and IPS officers informed the Supreme Court on Friday that they had been unable to resolve differences arising from allegedly defamatory remarks made by the women officers against each other.
IAS officer Ms. Rohini Sindhuri was represented by senior advocate Sidharth Luthra, who told the court that attempts to resolve the conflict between the two female officers have failed. Additionally, advocate Sidharth Luthra told the court that the IPS officer makes press statements criticizing the IAS officer on a daily basis.
The Supreme Court had previously expressed its opinion on the matter, stating that such issues between public servants were best resolved between themselves and directing the IAS and IPS officers “to work out a solution which will be in the interest of both of them”.Related Stories
