Senior IPS Officer Quits Service In ‘Civil Disobedience’ Against Citizenship Bill theprint.in

Minutes before the Rajya Sabha passed the controversial Citizenship (Amendment) Bill Wednesday, senior IPS officer Abdur Rahman resigned from the service in protest against the proposed legislation — a decision he said he took in “civil disobedience”.

Posting his resignation on Twitter, Rahman, a 1997-Batch IPS officer of the Maharashtra cadre, said, “I condemn this Bill. As a civil disobedience, I have decided not to continue in the service and thus not to attend office from tomorrow.”
