Y P Singh has put in his papers after nearly 20 years in the Indian Police Service citing corruption in the force and lack of encouragement from higher-ups.
After learning of Singh's decision, director general of police (retired) S S Puri, said: "It's a sad day for the IPS and the Maharashtra police when upright officers feel coerced to leave public service before completing their tenure."
