00:00Santhosh Mehra served as ACB Director in Ummadi, Andhra Pradesh and was a member of Rayalaseema Zone IG.
00:08In 2012, he went to Central Services and worked in BSF, Jatiya Manav Hakkula Sangham.
00:13The Centre gave him DGP Hoda in 2021.
00:17It is very difficult to give like this.
00:19In 2022, in March, he gave Level 17 to Akhila Bharat Adhikar.
00:25Santhosh Mehra returned to AP Kedar in July, 2022.
00:29Taking his experience into account, he wished that Jagan Prabhutam would give his name to the post of DGP.
00:37He met the Chief Minister of the state and expressed his desire.
00:40In the eyes of the politicians here, he said that our man should be appointed in that post.
00:44So, we will give Vagadharan in his important post.
00:47We will give any post after the appointment of the Chief Minister.
00:51So, to give any important post, the Kerala officials in the government put two conditions.
00:57The senior IPS officer, AB Venkateswara Rao, who was suspended by the state government,
01:02was re-investigated.
01:04According to the FIR 56 resolution, to remove him directly from the service,
01:09to make the appropriate recommendations,
01:11against the Telugu President Chandrababu,
01:13to take the responsibilities of filing various cases,
01:16those conditions were met by Mehra.
01:18He said that he cannot do this.
01:20Only if the Chief Minister does the work that makes him happy,
01:22he will consider you as his own people.
01:25Only then, you will be able to give an important post.
01:28Those rights were clarified.
01:29In addition to this, in the past,
01:31the bad publicity that Santosh Mehra treated the Telugu nation in an appropriate manner,
01:34two senior officials,
01:36set up an Adhikar party and brought one up.
01:38That's it.
01:39Now, the allegations against him have begun.
01:41After the opinion that Santosh Mehra did not listen to what he said,
01:44the senior officials in the government decided to show him their own marks.
01:49In this regard, in August 2022,
01:52Santosh Mehra was appointed as the Director-General of the National Special Protection Force.
01:57That is an important post.
01:59Three days before his appointment,
02:01the National Government reduced the level 17 scale given to Mehra,
02:04and gave him a severe punishment.
02:06Anyone, Adhikari, if they do anything wrong,
02:09or if they fall into any misconduct,
02:11they will take this kind of action.
02:13As soon as the inquiry was conducted,
02:15without any actual use,
02:17there was no chance for a Civil Service Adhikari to reduce the scale in the past.
02:20But, just because he did not listen to what he said,
02:23he was able to achieve this much.
02:25To reduce the scale, Santosh Mehra started a struggle.
02:28He wrote a letter to the then Prime Minister,
02:30saying that the government's action is against the regulations.
02:33As there was no response,
02:34he wrote another letter in the following month.
02:36He informed the Home Secretary of the Centre.
02:38According to the guidance issued in 2018,
02:41to protect the scale of the IPS Adhikar,
02:44the Centre wrote a letter to the National Government in October 2022.
02:48According to the guidance,
02:50once the level 17 scale is given,
02:52the Adhikar must be compensated,
02:54irrespective of where it is given.
02:56Without the Centre,
02:57without the National Government,
02:59Mehra wrote another letter to the CS.
03:01The National Government
03:02has informed the Centre Adhikars
03:04about how much the Government is spending.
03:06In the absence of a solution,
03:07Santosh Mehra wrote a letter to the CS
03:09to inform them about the pay scale.
03:12Once the level 17 scale is given to an Adhikar,
03:15it must be compensated,
03:16said the Home Secretary.
03:17Along with Andhra Pradesh,
03:18to all the states,
03:19in December 2022,
03:21a circular was sent.
03:23As Santosh Mehra did not do what he said,
03:25the Government of Jagan,
03:27did not follow the instructions of the Centre.
03:29As he has to be promoted
03:31by the end of February 2023,
03:33the level 17 must be given immediately,
03:36said Mehra.
03:37At that time,
03:38CS Jawahar Reddy wrote three more letters.
03:40In his letter,
03:41he did not respond to any of them.
03:43As a senior Adhikar,
03:44one can understand
03:45how disrespectfully he was treated.
03:47After completing his service,
03:49in the absence of a solution,
03:51he was given a pay scale of level 17,
03:53and in March 2023,
03:55he replied.
03:56That is,
03:57the days he spent in prison,
03:59he enjoyed the torture of marks,
04:01and enjoyed the devilish pleasure.
04:02In Andhra Pradesh,
04:03where terrorism is very prevalent,
04:06in the mid-1990s,
04:08Santosh Mehra worked as an SP
04:10in Adilabad, Visakha,
04:11in the rural districts.
04:12He fulfilled responsibilities
04:13in the Greyhounds for some time.
04:15Keeping these in mind,
04:16as some people gave him power,
04:18he wrote three letters to Jagan Prabhutwa,
04:21demanding that he be given
04:22a pay scale of level 17.
04:24But the government did not respond.
04:26According to the Supreme Court guidelines,
04:28if the state government
04:29appoints a DGP post,
04:30the seniority that should be in the position
04:32of sending it to the centre
04:33in that process is Santosh Mehra.
04:35The Jagan Prabhutwa
04:36severely insulted such a right.
04:38He was asked to respond
04:39to these statements.
04:41Jagan Prabhutwa responded
04:42that he will not speak
04:43on what happened then.
