Patna, Feb 13 (IANS) Senior Bihar IPS officer Vikash Vaibhav, who raised his voice against DG, Home Guards Shobha Ahotkar, on Monday requested the state Home Ministry for his immediate transfer to another department.

Vaibhav claimed that he is facing life threats from Shobha Ahotkar and hence, has written a letter to Additional Chief Secretary, Home, seeking his transger. He also requested him to sanction 2 days leave as well.

Due to her regular abuse, I am under tremendous pain."

After uploading this content on social media, Vikash Vaibhav later deleted it.
