    Netflix's 'Khakee': What led to IPS officer Amit Lodha's suspension
    IPS officer Amit Lodha got suspended after being charged with corruption charges

    Bihar IPS officer Amit Lodha has been suspended on corruption charges. He rose to fame with the Netflix series Khakee: The Bihar Chapter. The series is based on Lodha's 2018 book named Bihar Diaries. The book was written by Lodha and the case he had undertaken. Alongside corruption, his suspension is also because of his deal with the streaming giant Netflix, reportedly.

    Reason behind the suspension

    He was suspended for allegedly entering into a commercial agreement with the OTT giant Netflix while he was a government employee. The case was registered by the Special Vigilance Unit of Bihar. The vigilance unit stated that Lodha's agreement with Netflix caused him financial gains and he was not authorized to write a book and use it for commercial purposes.

    Lodha has been accused of receiving Rs. 12,372 in his account from the deal signed with Netflix, whereas his wife Koumidi received Rs. 30.25 lakh. The FIR stated that the transaction with Koumidi was "illicitly acquired wealth." Lodha tweeted after this, saying that it was a difficult time and he was innocent. He asked people to support him.
