The 2010-batch IAS officer was suspended on July 27, ostensibly not following due process of law while demolishing the wall of an under-construction mosque at Kadalpur village in Gautam Budh Nagar district. Nagpal was then posted as sub-divisional magistrate (SDM) in Greater Noida’s Sadar area.
The CM and the ruling Samajwadi Party came in for widespread criticism over her suspension amid suspicion that she was punished for her crackdown on the sand mafia operating along the Hindon and Yamuna rivers in the area.
"Everyone know it is a delayed decision. IAS officers' in the country need an environment to work freely and fairly," said Sanjay R Bhoos Reddy, Secretary of central IAS officers association.
