Andhra Pradesh IPS officer Siddharth Kaushal on Wednesday, 2 July, has tendered his voluntary resignation from the services, citing personal reasons.
In the resignation letter that was released, the IPS officer clarified that the decision was made purely on personal grounds after deep and thoughtful reflection. “This step is aligned with my long-term life goals and the wishes of my family.”
Further dismissing reports of external pressure, he wrote: “Recently, certain reports have attempted to falsely link my resignation to alleged harassment or external pressure. I wish to state unequivocally that such claims are completely baseless and misleading. My decision is entirely independent, personal, and voluntary.”
Reflecting on his service, he added, “Serving in the IPS has been the most fulfilling and enriching journey of my life. My years in Andhra Pradesh have been a privilege — I have always considered this state my home, and its people will forever remain in my heart with deep affection and pride.”
“I extend my heartfelt thanks to the Government of Andhra Pradesh, my seniors, colleagues, juniors, and every citizen I had the honour of serving. Your support and trust have shaped both the officer and the person I am today. As I move forward, I do so with gratitude, purpose, and clarity — looking to contribute to society in new and meaningful ways in the years to come.”
