Mumbai, June 16: Police sub-inspector and 'encounter specialist' Daya Nayak, who was under suspension for nearly six-and-a-half years in a disproportionate assets case, was today reinstated and posted in a local arms wing of the department, police said.

Soon after receiving the order of reinstatement, Nayak took charge today itself. He had been suspended from the service in January 2006 and was arrested by the Maharashtra Anti Corruption Bureau after a court rejected his anticipatory bail plea in the case.

In October 2009, the then director-general of police S S Virk had denied permission to prosecute Nayak in the case with a remark that there were insufficient grounds and cleared him of all charges. Later, his file had been sent to the ACB. This had paved a way for his reinstatement in the force.

"Subsequently, the magistrate of the court concerned was informed that the case does not stand against Nayak. Hence there is no case against him now. So, he is eligible for the reinstatement. The city police commissioner passed an order for his reinstatement and Nayak is now posted at Local Arms wing," an IPS officer told PTI.

A 1995-batch police officer, Nayak had got actor Amitabh Bachchan to inaugurate his school in Karnataka in memory of his mother nearly seven years ago. The ACB had also arrested his two friends, who lent their names to the transfer of his wealth. The ACB also sought to arrest Nayak's wife Komal.

According to the ACB, Nayak's investments include a posh flat at Charkop, a defunct financial company. The school in Karnataka was constructed at a cost of Rs one crore, which ACB officials had claimed were "proceeds of corruption".

Nayak and his wife Komal ran a few companies to launder the money, the ACB had alleged. Nayak had refuted the charge that he donated Rs one crore to this school and submitted a list of donors in an earlier enquiry. Prosecution claims that some of these donors' names are fake.

Nayak, a sub-inspector of the 1995 batch, rose to fame in a short span by killing around 80 criminals including Vinod Matkar, Rafik Dabba, Sadik Kalia and three Lashkar-E-Taiba operatives.

Nayak was unavailable for comment. The movie 'Aab Tak Chappan' was based on his career.

Bengaluru, Jun 5: The Karnataka government has asked all its departments and authorities to avoid during all official transactions the nomenclature "Dalit" for members belonging to the Scheduled Castes.

"All the departments and authorities of government of Karnataka are requested that (use of name Dalit) for all official transactions, matters, dealings, certificates, among others," the official circular said.

The Constitutional term Scheduled Caste in English and its appropriate translation in other national languages should alone be used for denoting the persons belonging to the Scheduled Castes/ Scheduled Tribes notified in the presidential orders issued under Article 341 of the Constitution, the circular said.

The circular issued on May 20 notes instructions issued by the Central government in 2018, with reference to the order of the High Court of Madhya Pradesh, Gwalior Bench.

"That the Central government/state government and its functionaries would refrain from using the nomenclature "Dalit" for the members belonging to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes as the same does not find mentioned in the Constitution or any statute," the order had said.

Pointing out that the Central government had earlier issued instructions that the words "Harijan" and "Girijan" should not be used, the circular said accordingly the Karnataka government also had issued a Government Order in 2010.
