Bhagwan Sahai, the senior IAS officer, who has been making headlines after being accused with insensitive behaviour with his subordinates, has been transferred to the general administration department (GAD) on Wednesday. Sahai had been appointed as the additional chief secretary (Administrative Reforms, Organisation & Methods) in place of PS Meena, who retired recently. He has been accused of allegedly denying permission to his subordinate joint secretary Rajesh Ghadge to leave for home early, after which the man’s teenaged son committed suicide. An inquiry has also been constituted against him for not allowing Ghatge to leave early on August 11, despite his son threatening to commit suicide. Chief secretary Swadheen Kshatriya, who is conducting the probe against the senior IAS officer, confirmed that Sahai has been transferred to GAD.
