Controversy Unfolds as Bareilly Magistrate Alleges Conspiracy, Resigns Over Policies

The political and administrative spheres of Uttar Pradesh are abuzz as Bareilly City Magistrate Alankar Agnihotri resigns, alleging a conspiracy against him. Declining to comment on his suspension, Agnihotri maintains he has already stepped down due to disagreements with the government's new UGC regulations.

Agnihotri, a 2019-batch Provincial Civil Service officer, claims to have overheard derogatory remarks about him at a district magistrate's office, sparking his decision to resign. With his resignation letter criticizing UGC regulations for potentially fostering caste-based discontent, his departure has stirred substantial controversy.

Amid denials from senior officials and calls for a Special Investigation Team probe, Agnihotri stands firm on his allegations. He contends there exists a bias within the system, urging for a deeper investigation to reveal the truth behind the derogatory comments supposedly aimed at him.
