Allahabad: The Allahabad High Court has directed the Uttar Pradesh government to reinstate an officer who was dismissed for forwarding a WhatsApp message that accused Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath of being involved in casteism. The court found that the dismissal of Amar Singh, an Additional Private Secretary in the State Secretariat, was excessive given the nature of the offence.
A Registrar (Judicial) of the Bombay High Court asked the Maharashtra government to look into allegations of institutional casteism, hooliganism, favouritism, sexual harassment and ragging made by students of ILS Law College, Pune.
