Dahiya has also approached the Sector-7 police in Gandhinagar with an application, alleging that he was honey- trapped and blackmailed by the woman.
Police are probing both the woman's complaint as well as Dahiya's plea.
Dahiya, a 2010-batch IAS officer, was transferred to the General Administration Department as a Joint Secretary on July 22 after the complaint was received against him. Before that he was mission director of the National Rural Health Mission in Gujarat.
The woman alleged in her complaint that Dahiya married her in February 2018 keeping her in the dark about his first marriage.
