New Delhi: Controversial IPS Officer Amitabh Thakur has been declared  “not fit” for service and given premature retirement in public interest.

Earlier in 2015, the UP government had suspended Thakur after he had accused Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav of “threatening” him.

Thakur had cited threat ro life as reason and sought a change of cadre from  Uttar Pradesh – a request that he had withdrawn later after BJP came to power in UP.
