Action follows viral electronic and social media content; government orders departmental proceedings
TFP Bureau, Raipur, March 26,2026: The Government of Chhattisgarh on Thursday suspended senior IPS officer Ratan Lal Dangi (2003 batch) with immediate effect following allegations of conduct unbecoming of a senior police officer, according to an official order issued from the Home (Police) Department at Nava Raipur Atal Nagar.
The order stated that while serving in a senior position in the police department, Dangi allegedly displayed behaviour inconsistent with the dignity of his post and engaged in conduct considered unethical and contrary to established standards. The government said the officer is prima facie found to have violated provisions of the All India Services (Conduct) Rules, 1968.
According to the order, electronic and social media content related to the alleged incident had been widely circulated, which adversely affected the public image of the police department and caused concern among citizens.
Pending a departmental inquiry, the state government has suspended Dangi under the provisions of the All India Services (Discipline and Appeal) Rules, 1969.
During the suspension period, his headquarters will remain at the Police Headquarters in Raipur, Chhattisgarh. He will be entitled to subsistence allowance as per rules and will not be allowed to leave headquarters without prior permission from the competent authority.
