Yogesh Pratap Singh (born 1959) is a former officer in the police force of India who left to become a lawyer and activist in Mumbai. He directed the international award winning film ''Kya Yahi Sach Hai'' (2010), a fictional account of corruption in the police force that is based on Singh's own experiences. ==Police officer== Y.P. Singh served as an officer of the Indian Police Service of the 1985 batch, Maharashtra Cadre. During his stint in the IPS he worked in various positions in the district police, the Food and Drugs Administration, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the reserve police.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=FestivalFocus )〕 Singh's first posting was in Wardha. There he developed a reputation for tough policing, conducting raids and clampdowns on a daily basis. During his stint in the CBI, he dealt with several high-profile cases like the Unit Trust of India US-64 scam.〔 In December 1995 Singh, then a Superintendent of Police, investigated allegations of nepotism in the award of contracts for exploiting the Panna-Mukta oilfield and submitted a detailed report. However, the CBI dragged its heels on pursuing the investigation. The police leadership at first commended Singh's efforts. Later, according to his account in an interview with ''Rediff'', he ran into trouble because he was uncovering awkward facts that he would not cover up.〔 In May 1998 the CBI admitted that Y.P. Singh's case diary had been lost and said it might have been deliberately destroyed. He was shunted to insignificant postings. Singh challenged these postings in the court, alleging that he was being targeted because of his investigations into the corrupt practices of senior officers and politicians. He lost his case in the lower courts, which upheld the Government's transfer order stating that it was a policy decision not to be interfered with by the courts. Singh appealed the judgment in the Supreme Court, where he subsequently won. He was reinstated in the Maharashtra Police and posted as Commandant of the State Reserve Police Force, Group 8. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yogesh Pratap Singh」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
