Ranjit Sinha Biography

Ranjit Sinha is one of the most popular and richest Civil Servant who was born on March 27, 1953 in Jamshedpur, India. Ranjit Sinha, a former Director of Central Bureau of Investigation and Indian Police Service officer of 1974 batch, was born 27 March 1953. Before becoming the CBI Director for a two-year term in December 2012, he was the Director General Police of the Indo-Tibetan Border Police and the Director General Railway Protection Force. He also held senior positions in CBI Patna and Delhi.

As IG (Operations), in Srinagar, and IG(Personnel), in Delhi, he has also been a member of the Central Reserve Police Force. Sinha held previously important positions at CBI, including the position of Joint Director and deputy inspector general. His involvement in investigations has included a variety of important and sensitive cases with national and international implications. The CVC Act 2003 provided the basis for his selection and he was appointed with a two-year term. The Cabinet Appointments Committee selected him.

First of all I completed my tenure in the RPF on 19 May 2011 and Mamata Banerjee became West Bengal chief minister on 20 May 2011. So I remained in the RPF till Mamata Banerjee was the railway minister. But I had my share of problems. Mamata wanted Bangla to be one of the languages for the exam for recruitment the RPF constables. She didn’t like when I said according to rules only Hindi and English are recognised languages for the exam. Besides, she employed RPF guards for her security during election campaign in West Bengal. I was ticked by the MHA as it was not part of the RPF mandate. I showed the temerity to tell her that also.

As the head of the Railway Protection Force (RPF), Sinha objected to Mamata Banerjee continuing to be provided protection by the RPF commandos, even after she quit as the Railway minister and became the Chief Minister of West Bengal. Banerjee did not take to these objections kindly and got Sinha replaced as the RPF head in May 2011. He was posted in September 2011 as the Director General of the ITBP.

As a DIG (CBI) under the Joint Director(East), UN Biswas, he is accused of cutting off the investigation to protect Lalu Prasad Yadav, the Fodder Scam victim. UN Biswas, who was the main investigator in the case and whose progress was being closely monitored by Patna High Court was asked by court to submit a report. The court received a revised report from Sinha, the former Director CBI, Joginder Sing. The court was enquiring why the submitted report didn’t include details about the original charges. Biswas acknowledged before the court that the CBI Director had changed the report and that the original report was much more damaging. The court indicted Sinha and ordered Sinha to be dismissed from the case. Sinha, Biswas, and other CBI officers later apologized to the Privilege Council Council of Bihar Legislative Assembly. They had been accused of launching a privilege proceeding against them. His father-in law, the Director General Vigilance, was also accused of having obstructed initial investigations into the Fodder Scam. However, the allegations could not be supported. Sinha was then sent to Bihar Bhawan, New Delhi, against a specially-created post by Lalu Yodav.
