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.
