SRINAGAR: Day after a female IAS officer was transferred from the sensitive post of Deputy Commissioner of Baramulla, Deputy Speaker Nazir Ahmad Gurezi Monday directed the government to remove the IAS officer, who is allegedly involved in the suicide attempt of a female IAS officer.
The issue was raised by PDP MLA Javid Mustafa Mir in the Legislative Assembly who said the IAS officer, who attempted suicide has been transferred from the sensitive posting.
“But what about the other IAS officer? He is heading an important department and too holding sensitive posting. He is heading the department where from we all get the education. This incident has raised fingers on other officers too. If one has done something wrong but fingers are also being raised on others. So this IAS officer should also be removed from the Education department,” Mir demanded.
Further he asked the government whether the police has registered FIR into this case.
On this Deputy Speaker Nazir Gurezi said, “Drabu Sahab, remove this IAS officer immediately from this department of which 50 percent employees are women folk,” Gurezi directed.
Government on Sunday transferred the IAS officer who reportedly attempted suicide few days ago.
Government took a serious note after the PDP lawmaker Javid Mustafa Mir on Saturday raised the issue in the Legislative Assembly than an IAS officer attempted suicide, who is in-charge of a very sensitive district of Kashmir.
Mir, while quoting a report of a newspaper demanded the investigation into the matter and to remove two IAS officers from the sensitive postings.
The said officer last week attempted suicide and the matter was hushed up given the sensitivity of the issue.
On the fateful day the senior IAS officer returned home after office hours and was joined by another colleague, also a senior IAS officer.
After some time the visiting officer left the residence of his colleague seeming visibly upset.
Sometime later, sources say that the domestic help of the officer in residence noticed that there was no sound emanating from the officers room.
On checking the premises the help was shocked to find the officer lying semi-conscious with blood flowing from the wrists.
The help immediately alerted the rest of the officer's staff and the officer was rushed to the nearby government hospital where luckily for him the doctor who was on duty happened to be a surgeon who immediately patched up the wounds and stopped the bleeding.
Sources maintain that had the officer arrived at the hospital just a few minutes later, it is almost certain that officer would not have survived.
