Thakur claimed he has been reinstated with effect from October 11, 2015 with full salary benefits as directed by the Lucknow bench of Central Administrative Tribunal.
"The order dated May 11, 2016 by Principal Secretary Home Debashish Panda says the Central government has quashed the suspension through its order dated March 31, 2016 which was again reiterated by the Lucknow bench of Central Administrative Tribunal on April 25, 2016.
"The order says the order for posting shall be issued separately," he claimed and termed it as a "victory of justice".
Thakur, who had alleged he was threatened by ruling Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav, was suspended by the state government in July last year.
The IG-level officer was put under suspension when he had approached the Union Home Ministry in Delhi seeking a CBI probe into a rape case filed against him after he had lodged a complaint against Mulayam for threatening him.
