Jaipur : On 22 September, the Rajasthan government made major changes and transferred 22 officers of the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) and 58 officers of the Indian Police Service (IPS). This is considered a major change in the bureaucracy of Rajasthan. In this list, the Superintendent of Police of 15 districts and two range Inspector Generals of Police were transferred. IPS officer Ajay Pal Lamba is also among the two range officers who have been transferred. Lamba has been made the Inspector General of Jaipur Range. Ajay Pal Lamba, one of the most famous IPS officers of Rajasthan, has had a career full of many big feats. He was the one who arrested Asaram, accused of raping a minor and lodged in Jodhpur jail.
He has been the SP of many districts
Ajay Pal Lamba was born in Tan Pritampuri of Neem Ka Thana district. He has done B.Tech in Electronics and Telecommunication. The special thing is that he is a resident of Rajasthan and has got cadre in Rajasthan. Lamba has also been the Superintendent of Police of many districts, including Jhunjhunu, Pali, Jaipur, Pali, Udaipur and Alwar. He has written a book on what Lamba saw during Asaram’s arrest and how the planning was done to catch Asaram who has lakhs of devotees across the country, named ‘For the Godman, The True Story Behind’.
Important role in the arrest of Asaram
In 2013, Asaram Bapu was accused of raping a minor. The minor’s family had alleged that Asaram had sexually assaulted the minor in his Jodhpur ashram. The case was registered in Delhi which was later transferred to Jodhpur. Teams were sent to many cities of the country to collect evidence against Asaram. For this, a team of 20 most capable police officers of Jodhpur was formed. This team was named ‘Tough-20’. At that time Ajay Lamba was the Deputy Commissioner of Police of Jodhpur.
When Asaram was caught he started crying loudly
Ajay Pal Lamba writes in the book that it was not so easy to catch Asaram. As soon as Jodhpur police started surrounding Asaram, they were threatened, police was attacked during the arrest. Many times they would get calls asking them to take money. They were lured. Later when the narrative was created that Asaram is impotent, his ‘impotency test’ was done, although many officers were not in favor of this test. When Asaram was caught, he started crying loudly.
