‘Deliberate Sidelining’: Pandey’s Claims in Letter to Thackeray. Soon after the reshuffle, Pandey wrote a letter to CM Thackeray, allegedly bypassing him and stating that he was facing injustice.

When the post of DGP fell vacant after Subodh Jaiswal left, you did not even consider giving me additional charge and handed over to a junior officer. In fact it is illegal to give additional charge to the Acting Director General and is against the orders of Hon’ble SC in Prakash Singh case.

He said, “After the controversy over the recent explosive case in Mumbai, you again ignored me and handed over additional charge of DGP to a junior officer against the orders of the Hon’ble SC in Prakash Singh’s case.”

Saying that he was not made a member of the Police Establishment Board despite being the most senior, Pandey said, “It is a great insult that involves the transfer and posting of officers of the rank of Director General which includes me and the police. I am being debated by junior officers.

Pandey told Thackeray that he had raised these issues in several meetings with Home Minister Deshmukh but “the humiliation and injustice continues”.

“If I was an incompetent officer with a very malicious record then these oversights might be appropriate. But on the contrary, it was recognizing my competence and integrity out of all the police officers in Maharashtra, I was handed serious confidential inquiries in recent times,” said Pandey.

Citing examples of some other high-profile cases, Pandey said: “Finally, Sir, we all work to make a career over many painstaking years. It is grossly unjust to see it demolished due to only a few personal biases.”
