Durga Shakti Nagpal Durga Shakti Nagpal

IAS officer Durga Shakti Nagpal is again hogging the headlines for throwing out a senior Samajwadi Party leader of Mathura out of her office.

Nagpal had earned the dubious distinction of being anti-Samajwadi Party when she cracked down on illegal mining operations allegedly run by SP leaders in Noida and also demolished a partially constructed wall of a mosque in Kadalpur village of Greater Noida, leading to her suspension in 2013.

The 2009-batch IAS officer, who was born in Agra, is currently the Chief Development Officer of Mathura district.

On Monday, while she was in her office, a local Samajwadi Party leader Jageshwar Yadav visited Nagpal and asked her to look into the matter immediately. However, as she was busy, Nagpal asked him to wait.

Hearing this, Yadav began creating a ruckus in the office, following which, Nagpal asked her guards to escort the SP leader and his companion out of the office and ensure that they don't enter again.

Furious by this, Yadav is now threatening to report this matter to the SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav, with whom, he boasts to have personal relations.

Talking to India Today, Yadav said Nagpal's attitude wasn't conducive of a public servant and she was behaving like a dictator in her office, which was unacceptable and required reporting to the party high command.
