The odd part
A bureaucrat who thinks inclusion is a 'Black Law' but dramatic resignations are 'Civil Service.'
What happened
Bareilly City Magistrate Alankar Agnihotri has turned his resignation into a street performance, protesting against the UGC’s 2026 'Promotion of Equity' regulations. Claiming that rules mandating representation for marginalized groups are an 'anti-Brahmin campaign' and a threat to 'Sanatan tradition,' the officer decided the best way to serve the public was to stop serving the public. The state government responded with a suspension—proving that in Uttar Pradesh, even your resignation can be rejected if it's not 'bold' enough.
