Vimal Negi case: SSP Sanjeev Gandhi resumes duty after month-long leave amidst controversy

Shimla, June 24 (UNI) Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Shimla, Sanjeev Gandhi, resumed duty on Tuesday after a month-long medical leave, marking a significant development in the ongoing administrative reshuffle triggered by the Vimal Negi death case controversy.
The Himachal Pradesh government had earlier issued a notification dated May 27, 2025, ordering that Gaurav Singh, IPS (HP:2013), Superintendent of Police, Solan, would hold additional charge of SP Shimla during Gandhi’s leave period. The order was issued by Chief Secretary Prabodh Saxena citing “public interest.”
Gandhi’s return comes in the backdrop of a dramatic face-off within the top echelons of the police and administration.
