UP Cadre year 2011 batch IAS officer Abhishek Singh has resigned. Abhishek, who is under suspension since February 2023, is fond of acting and hence now people are speculating that after resigning, he may take the path of films. Senior officials of the appointment department have confirmed Abhishek’s resignation. Let us tell you that Abhishek’s wife Durga Shakti Nagpal, originally from Jaunpur, is also a 2010 batch IAS officer. Presently she is the DM of Banda.
Abhishek’s father Kripa Shankar Singh is a retired IPS officer. After training, Abhishek got his first posting on 14 August 2013 as Joint Magistrate in Jhansi. He was suspended on 11 October 2014. After reinstatement, he was made the Chief Development Officer of Hardoi in January 2015. In March 2015 he went on deputation to Delhi Government. On his return from Delhi after five years, he was sent as an observer for the Gujarat Assembly elections.
He also took up the responsibility of observer duty, but came into limelight because he got his photo clicked in front of the car and posted it on social media. The Election Commission removed him from observer duty on 18 November 2022 for non-proper conduct. After being relieved from observer duty, he has not yet submitted his contribution report in the appointment department.
