Amit Lodha, a Bihar IPS officer who gained notoriety after the Netflix series "Khakee: The Bihar Chapter" debuted, has been suspended due to corruption allegations.
He was put on leave after a case was filed against him for allegedly engaging in business with Netflix while holding a government position and for alleged acts of corruption.
The vigilance unit claims that Lodha entered into a contract with a private company that gave him financial benefits while he was an IPS officer.
He apparently signed a contract with a company that made web series based on his book. Lodha is not a well-known author, and he was not given permission to publish a book and utilise it for profit.
According to the statement, the department's investigation confirmed the veracity of Lodha's alleged corruption.
On the basis of this, the Special Vigilance Unit filed a complaint on December 7 under sections 120B and 168 of the IPC as well as the PC Act's prevention of corruption provisions.
The epic struggle between two individuals on opposing sides of the law is the subject of the Netflix series series "Khakee: The Bihar Chapter."
The 2018 book Bihar Diaries by Lodha, which chronicles his pursuit of the gang, served as inspiration for the series.
