A controversy involving a senior Bihar cadre IAS officer resurfaced dramatically in Patna on Saturday, drawing public attention back to a long-standing personal dispute. Advocate Gayatri Devi, who claims to be the wife of IAS officer Sanjeev Hans and the mother of his child, arrived at his official residence with their young son in an attempt to facilitate a reunion.
Allegations of Denied Entry and Distress
The situation escalated quickly when Gayatri Devi alleged she was refused entry at the officer's gate. She stated that the purpose of her visit was to allow the child to meet his father, Sanjeev Hans. Being turned away, she claimed, caused significant emotional distress to both her and the boy. This incident prompted her immediate next course of action.
Formal Complaint Lodged at Police Station
Following the alleged denial of entry, Gayatri Devi proceeded directly to the Shastri Nagar police station in Patna. There, she formally filed a complaint detailing the events of the day. The complaint centers on her assertions about her relationship with the officer and the circumstances that prevented the child's meeting.
The core of the controversy hinges on Gayatri Devi's public claim that she is the legitimate wife of Sanjeev Hans and that they have a son together. This is not the first time these allegations have surfaced, but Saturday's events brought the matter back into sharp public focus. The filing of a police complaint adds a legal dimension to what has primarily been a personal and public relations dispute.
The case now involves the local police, who will likely examine the complaint before deciding on any further investigative steps. As an officer of the Indian Administrative Service, any legal proceedings involving Sanjeev Hans could attract scrutiny from both the public and departmental authorities. The incident highlights the complex intersection of personal life and public service.
