These days, one name has become the subject of most discussion in the political and administrative circles of Uttar Pradesh – SP leader Mahendra Kumar. There was a time when Mahendra Kumar used to have tremendous influence in the police department and his dominance was visible everywhere in his khaki uniform. Former police officer Mahendra Kumar, who tightened the noose of the law while in uniform, is himself surrounded by serious allegations today and after the FIR has been registered against him, the police is tightening the noose around the investigation. This legal action against Mahendra Kumar, who left his administrative job and joined Samajwadi Party (SP), has created a stir in the politics of the state. The war of words has intensified between the ruling party and the opposition, while people are curious to know how a former police officer with a domineering and influential image reached this position.
Mahendra Kumar’s past has been full of administrative and khaki uniform dominance. During his service period, he was known as a strict and influential officer in the Uttar Pradesh Police Department. Due to being posted in many important districts, he was considered to have considerable influence among the officials and administrative circles. After retirement or VRS, he chose politics as his second innings and joined the Samajwadi Party. After joining SP, on the basis of his old administrative hold and strong support base in the area, he made good inroads within the organization in a very short time. His journey from khaki to khadi had made him a big face in local politics.
After the recent FIR registered, the troubles of SP leader Mahendra Kumar have increased a lot. According to police records, a criminal case has been registered against him under serious sections. He is accused of misusing his position, political influence and past influence to interfere in any controversial matter or challenge law and order. Based on the complaint of the complainant, the local police immediately registered the case and started a legal investigation. Mahendra Kumar, who had once filed FIR against others, himself standing in the dock as an accused, remains the biggest topic of discussion in political circles.
After the FIR was registered against Mahendra Kumar, a round of allegations and counter-allegations has started in the politics of Uttar Pradesh. Local and provincial leaders of Samajwadi Party have seriously accused the government and police administration of working out of political hatred. SP leaders say that the police is being misused by implicating them in false cases to suppress the voice of the opposition and demoralize the leaders of the party’s support base. On the other hand, leaders of the ruling party say that the law is equal for everyone, whether one is a former officer or a leader of any political party. If someone has violated the law, fair legal action is certain to be taken against him.
After the case has been registered, the local police is now busy collecting evidence and taking the investigation process forward. Police officials say that the allegations made in the FIR are being investigated impartially and further legal action (such as recording of statement or arrest) will be taken based on the facts. On the other hand, SP leader Mahendra Kumar and his legal team are exploring legal options to get anticipatory bail from the court or quash the FIR. Now it remains to be seen what new facts emerge in the investigation and how Mahendra Kumar is able to rescue himself from this legal and political crisis.
