Indian Masterminds Stories

Patna: In a significant development ahead of the Bihar Assembly elections, IPS officer Aditya Kumar has been released from suspension after nearly three years. The 2011 batch Bihar cadre officer, who was suspended in October 2022, received the government’s order on Friday, releasing him from suspension effective October 3, 2025. He has been asked to report to the Bihar Police Headquarters and await posting.

Background: Fake Call Controversy and Ongoing Investigation

Aditya Kumar was suspended following allegations that he made a fake call to the Director General of Police (DGP) using the name of a High Court judge. The Economic Offences Unit (EOU) had registered an FIR based on these allegations. Despite the suspension relief, departmental and criminal inquiries into the matter remain ongoing. Officials have clarified that the investigation process will continue independently, and no significant responsibilities will be assigned to Kumar until the inquiry is complete.

Political Context: Administrative Moves Ahead of Bihar Elections

The timing of Aditya Kumar’s suspension relief has raised eyebrows, as it coincides with the Bihar Assembly election season—a period often marked by administrative reshuffles. However, the Home Department has maintained that the decision is purely administrative and will not affect the investigation or legal proceedings related to the case.

Current Status and Future Prospects

Aditya Kumar has been instructed to report to the police headquarters but will not hold any major posts until the conclusion of the ongoing investigations. The department has emphasized that any final decisions regarding his career will be taken only after the inquiry is fully resolved. Although his release from suspension is a major reprieve, the fake call controversy continues to cast a shadow over his professional reputation.

Profile: Who is IPS Aditya Kumar?

Aditya Kumar, a 2011 batch IPS officer from Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, was serving as the SSP of Gaya when allegations related to illegal liquor surfaced against him, culminating in his suspension. The FIR was filed at the Fatehpur police station following an investigation into the case.

Legal Proceedings: Bail Plea Rejected by Supreme Court

In 2023, after being denied bail by lower courts, Aditya Kumar approached the Supreme Court seeking bail. However, the apex court rejected his plea and directed him to surrender within two weeks. The bench, comprising Justices Hassanuddin Amanullah, Aniruddha Bose, and Augustine George Masih, highlighted the gravity of the case involving Kumar and two other judicial officers, stating that the larger issues could not be ignored.

Imprisonment at Beur Jail

Following his surrender in court, Kumar was sent to Beur Jail under tight security and kept in a special ward. The investigation was triggered by suspicious WhatsApp calls made repeatedly to the DGP, impersonating a fake Chief Justice.
