Ajay was suspended for illicit love affair
Ajay was posted as SDO, Marwar Junction (Pali) from July 2021 to August 2022 when he was suspended over illicit love affair with a school principal.
Both knew each other for long time. Ajay used to visit school principal's house located at Gura Mokam Singh village, 25 kms from headquarter of Marwar Junction. Ajay used to come and stay frequently at principal's house in his official car.
Villagers opposed it several times and asked Ajay not to come.
One day when Ajay was at principal's house, villagers deflated tyres of his car and locked both of them from outside. They remained locked for several hours. Police had to intervene and rescue both of them.
But on the complaints of villagers and police report, both Ajay and principal were suspended and their headquarters were also changed.
Ajay was reinstated
Later the case was disposed in departmental enquiry and Ajay was reinstated after two months. He remained APO for few days and later was posted as sub divisional officer Devgarh.
