The 1986-batch officer was dismissed on August 30 last year by the Centre, a month
before his retirement, after the departmental inquiry found him guilty of speaking to the
media “which had dented the country’s international relations”. Verma had assisted the
Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in its probe into the Ishrat Jahan ‘fake encounter
case’.

On September 19, 2022, the Supreme Court stayed the Centre’s dismissal order for a
week and said it is for the high court to consider. Subsequently, after a week on
September 26 of the same year, the high court refused to stay the Centre’s order
dismissing Verma and cleared the way for the sacking of the 1987-IPS cadre.

Verma moved the Supreme Court challenging the Delhi high court order. His petition
read, “The impugned order has allowed the Union of India to pass an order that may result
in the petitioner’s dismissal from service with retrospective effect (even though he

Verma assisted Gujarat special investigation team (SIT) in the high-profile Ishrat Jahan
case of 2004 between April 2010 and October 2011.

Ishrat, a resident of Mumbra near Mumbai, and three others, who were allegedly dubbed
as terrorists and accused of plotting to kill the then Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi,
were killed in an alleged staged encounter on the outskirts of Ahmedabad on June 15,
2004.

The ministry of home affairs (MHA) issued a charge memo to Verma in September 2018
alleging that although he was relieved from the post of Chief Vigilance Officer (CVO) of
NEEPCO (North Eastern Electric Power Corporation) in July 2016, he failed to hand over
the files and kept them in personal custody for a long time. Other charges against him also
included talking to the media.

by mass mobilisation, loss of public confidence, and political survival.

At the public function marking the launch of Dravida Munnetra Kazhakam (DMK) on the
