Gujarat Government Orders Early Retirement of Two IAS Officers Amid Corruption and Misconduct Reviews
The Gujarat government has compulsorily retired two IAS officers, K Rajesh and Gaurav Dahiya, under a review process aligned with new All India Services Pension Rules. Rajesh, suspended since 2022, faces corruption charges including bribery and money laundering linked to his tenure as Surendranagar collector. Dahiya was retired following disciplinary proceedings related to misconduct during his service, including his role in the National Health Mission. The retirements follow a committee review of their integrity and performance over 15 years.
