Senior IPS officer Bharti Arora, who headed the SIT in the 2007 Samjhauta Express blasts and served as Joint Commissioner in Gurugram, sought voluntary retirement so that she could devote herself to devotional service to Lord Krishna.
A Times of India report said that Bharti, who is currently posted as Inspector General in Ambala, sent a letter to Chief Secretary Vijay Vardhan and Director General of Police Manoj Yadava, which read, “My service is my pride and Passion has been… now I want to achieve the ultimate goal of life. I yearn to follow the path shown by holy sages like Guru Nanak Dev, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, Kabirdas, Tulsidas, Surdas, Mirabai, Sufi saints and devote the rest of my life to the loving devotional service of Lord Shri Krishna.
Bharti said she has been thinking of quitting service and taking a spiritual path for a few years now. She also said that she would work towards self-realization and God realisation.
He said that he has no plans to join politics and his sole reason for taking this decision was his inclination towards spirituality.
Bharti has requested for relief from service and relaxation of three months notice period with effect from August 1 under All India Service Rules, 1958. She is a 1998 batch IPS officer.
Her husband Vikas Arora is also an IPS officer of the same batch and posted as IG Rewari (South Range).
The report said that Bharti was the SP (Railways) when the SIT was formed to probe the 2007 Samjhauta Express bombing that killed 68 people, mostly Pakistanis.
She took over as Joint CP in Gurgaon in 2013, where she won praise for traffic management, but was also in news for a bitter face-off with Police Commissioner Navdeep Singh Virk. In 2016, he was also appointed as the first nodal officer of the task force for cow protection set up by the Haryana government.
