The political and administrative spheres of Uttar Pradesh are abuzz as Bareilly City Magistrate Alankar Agnihotri resigns, alleging a conspiracy against him. Declining to comment on his suspension, Agnihotri maintains he has already stepped down due to disagreements with the government's new UGC regulations.
