Upright officer who suffers for being straight. There have been a few like him from time to time but most of them suffer at the hands of the politicians for not bending the rules and regulations to satisfy the temporary 'masters'.

He reminds me of Arun Bhatia.
A retired IAS officer and ex-PMC Commissioner, he has earned a reputation for exposing the shortcomings of and corruption in the very system he works for.
Bhatia has paid a price for his actions - regular transfers, insignificant postings, numerous charges and enquiries, bad assessment reports, ridicule by peers, subordinates and seniors, lack of support, ugly mafia threats and denials of promotion.
But nothing deterred this bureaucrat and he just carried on with digging out carefully guarded skeletons within the institutions of governance.
India needs more of this tribe. Hats off to Ashok Khemka!

Arun Bhatia is another name for straight and upright officers. It is not the first time Ashok Khemka showing his straight forwardness. For his such forthright attitude, he was punished in indirect way by having 3 transfers in a year on average basis whereas other IAS officers are retained in the place of transfer for a minimum period of 3 years.

41 transfers in 26 years.. that shows how much he is disliked by political leaders.. But we want such officers only.. He says, all parties are alike.. all chief ministers are of the same feather.
