Latest News about Rinkoo Rahee
The Jalaun district administration ordered a probe into IAS officer Rinkoo Singh Rahee after he was accused of allegedly shoving a BJP block pramukh and attempting to slap him during an inspection of the official's cold storage facility. District Magistrate Rajesh Kumar Pandey constituted a two-member committee to investigate the incident.
The Uttar Pradesh government transferred 38 IAS officers in an administrative reshuffle, appointing Rinkoo Singh Rahee as Joint Magistrate in Jalaun district. This marked his return to a field posting after months of limbo following his withdrawn resignation and previous removal from the Shahjahanpur post.
After nearly two weeks of remaining without a formal posting following his resignation, Rinkoo Singh Rahee withdrew his technical resignation on April 20, 2026, signaling his willingness to continue serving within the system. As of early May, he remained attached to the Revenue Council with minor assignments but lacked a full-fledged position.
Rinkoo Singh Rahee wrote to the President of India seeking permission for a technical resignation from the IAS, citing that he had been without substantive responsibilities for around eight months while posted at the Board of Revenue in Lucknow. He clarified that he was not leaving public service entirely but wished to return to meaningful work in his parent PCS cadre.
