'Baseless and misleading', says (IPS) officer Siddharth Kaushal as he denied the speculations of him resigning from the service due to harassment and external pressure, adding, personal reasons and volunteering as the reason behind his decision to quit the force.
Clearing the air on rumors, Kaushal, in an official statement, cited the resignation as "entirely independent, personal, and voluntary." Kaushal, a 2012-batch IPS officer, served for over 13 years.
The statement:
"I have tendered my voluntary resignation from the Indian Police Service - a decision made on purely personal grounds after deep personal reflection. It is a step taken in alignment with my long-term life goals and the wishes of my family members".

"Recently, certain reports have attempted to falsely link my resignation to alleged harassment or external pressure. I wish to state unequivocally that such claims are completely baseless and misleading. My decision is entirely independent, personal, and voluntary".
"This state has always been my home, and its people will stay in my heart with deep affection and pride. As I move forward, I do so with gratitude, purpose, and clarity, looking to contribute to society in new and meaningful ways in the years to come," the statement then adds.
On the other hand, the sources have to say that Kaushal's resignation might be a result of what always has been cited as pressure on the IPS officers. As per the media reports, Kaushal will shift to the private sector, potentially taking up a corporate role based in Delhi.
