IPS officer Girish Laxman Singhal, who was investigated in the 2004 Ishrat Jahan case, has announced voluntary retirement. He cited “personal and social reasons”. The 58-year-old IPS officer of the 2001 batch announced the decision two years before the superannuation (that offers retirement benefit). August 4 will be his last day.
Posted as IGP at the Commando Training Centre in Karai, Gandhinagar, since 2016, the Gujarat cadre officer, who was promoted to the IPS in 2006, was among the police officers investigated by the CBI in the 2004 Ishrat Jahan encounter case.
In April 2021, he was discharged by a special CBI court along with two other policemen on the grounds that the police action was carried out in the line of duty.
Singhal told The Indian Express Saturday, “I have some personal and social issues, especially after the passing of my father-in-law three months back.”
