His name is Rinku Singh Rahi.
In 2009 he was a PCS officer in Muzaffarnagar.
He exposed a Rs 100 crore scholarship and pension scam.
Three days later someone shot him seven times.
Two bullets hit his face. His jaw shattered. He lost an eye. Lost hearing in one ear.
He spent 4 months in hospital.
When he came out the government transferred him.
He did not quit.
At age 40 with one eye and a broken jaw he appeared for the UPSC exam under the disability quota.
He got AIR 683.
He became an IAS officer.
In July 2025 on his first field posting as SDM in Shahjahanpur he saw a clerk urinating in the office premises.
He made the clerk do squats as punishment.
The lawyers protested saying it was wrong.
Rinku Singh Rahi said there is no shame in accountability and did five squats himself in public.
Within 36 hours he was transferred.
For 8 months he sat at the Revenue Board with no work. Full salary. Zero responsibilities.
On March 31 2026 he resigned.
His resignation letter said there is a special punishment reserved for honest people in India.
They get paid but no work is given to them.
He said even receiving a salary without working is a form of corruption.
He could not do it.
He walked away.
Mother took loan against Gold , sent son for Pre Sea Training Course. Son is having 4 hours screen time (social media) on phone daily. Library time is zero.
I asked Maritime Training Institute approved by @dgshipping_IN to get more involved in lifestyle of Trainees. It's suicidal when Trainees don't focus on studies especially when parents have taken heavy loans.
Under the chairmanship of the Additional Director General, Shri Sushil Mansing Khopde, the Directorate General of Shipping convened a high-level review during February to assess recent cases involving Indian seafarers facing detention, abandonment, and legal proceedings overseas. During this period, 38 Indian seafarers across six vessels were successfully repatriated or released from detention. The review reaffirmed DG Shipping’s unwavering commitment to safeguarding the safety, dignity, legal rights, and timely repatriation of every Indian seafarer through structured institutional mechanisms and sustained diplomatic coordination with Indian Missions abroad.
In the case of Valiant Roar (Iran detention), four of the eight Indian seafarers visited DG Shipping for structured debriefing. The interaction enabled detailed documentation of operational, contractual, and legal challenges faced during detention, strengthening crisis response protocols and compliance oversight frameworks.
In the case of Reem Akhaleej (Iran detention), seven Indian seafarers have safely returned and completed debriefing, while three remain onboard. Continuous follow-up is underway through diplomatic channels and coordination with local authorities to ensure their safe repatriation at the earliest.
In the case of MT Kashi (UAE detention), seven Indian seafarers were repatriated following vessel-related legal proceedings. The remaining aspects of the matter continue to be closely monitored to ensure full protection of seafarer rights and adherence to employer obligations.
Further, two seafarers detained in Vietnam for over 18 months have been released, bringing closure to a prolonged case. Thirteen seafarers were repatriated from Senegal, while four remain accommodated at Dakar under sustained diplomatic engagement. The four-seafarer case involving MV Maria has also been resolved. Additionally, Seafarer Deepak Singh Jimiwal has been released from custody in Italy, with debriefing scheduled under DG Shipping’s post-release protocol.
These developments underscore the importance of legal preparedness, inter-agency coordination, and proactive crisis management.
समुद्री क्षेत्र में भर्ती और रोजगार से जुड़ी धोखाधड़ी एक गंभीर चिंता का विषय है।
नौवहन महानिदेशालय (Directorate General of Shipping) द्वारा जारी इस महत्वपूर्ण वीडियो में जानिए कि यदि आप धोखाधड़ी का शिकार होते हैं तो शिकायत कैसे दर्ज करें, किन दस्तावेजों की आवश्यकता होती है, एफआईआर की प्रक्रिया क्या है, तथा शिकायत के बाद की जांच और सुरक्षा उपाय क्या हैं।
अपनी सुरक्षा के लिए जागरूक रहें और स��ी माध्यम से ही शिकायत दर्ज करें।

Something suspicious is going on inside ISRO & VSSC
- India's PSLV failed 2 times in just 9 months
- Rumours suggest that someone from inside or outside may be trying to sabotage India
- 18 May 2025, ISRO's rocket faced a technical issue and the mission failed in the 3rd stage
- 12 Jan 2026 was a commercial mission with 16 satellites, it failed in the 3rd stage and all satellites disappeared
- Science, defence and space research are highly sensitive for the country's security, so sabotage may be an angle to weaken the military and national power
- Most of the time satellite failure inquiries are done inside the center, but this time the PM directed Ajit Doval for a detailed investigation
- Ajit Doval secretly visited Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre without any protocol or convoy and held 6 meetings in 2 days with VSSC officials
- In 1994, remember the Nambi Narayanan case, India was intentionally prevented from entering the global space market
No official announcement yet.
Gutsy 3rd Mate Siluvai with 2nd Mate FG CoC. Indian Ratings are treated badly by @dgshipping_IN for doing 2nd Mate FG Exams. Even after many representations by me with detailed analysis, ZERO action by Nautical Advisor Govt of India. He always ran short of funds , kept sailing, appeared for 16 Written +3 Oral + 1 Practical, 10m College time.
Congratulations Siluvai (Kanyakumari)
Nonsense of DGS exposed.
*PICTURE OF THE DAY*
- Behind on berth is the Mast of Ship - flying Indian flag...
- In front are Seafarers looking for jobs ...
- And, in between is *VR MARITIME* - the bridge to connect Seafarers with Ship.
What a coincidence ! ! !
Its unfortunate that aggrieved Seafarers visiting @dgshipping_IN r not allowed to enter office. "Sir from reception the receptionist made a call I was asking for the name but he didn't tell me the name".
Form 1 Seatime correction is Painful process for Seafarers & Office staff.
BIG NEWS 🚨 Japan REJECTS plans to build Muslim cemeteries in the country.
They didn't even think twice 😳
"In Japan, cremation is the tradition. The proper approach for Muslims is to send the remains back to their home countries for burial" - JAPAN

Please share with all Seafarers
* Basic Dangeeous Cargo Endorsement are not done by MMDs.
* It's a different system of @dgshipping_IN
* In this system there is no fee payment. It has its own problems.
* It takes a max of 14 days as per DGS to issue DCE for Indian Seafarers.
@elonmusk If you want to make Europe great again, first stop accepting immigrants, second stope religious conversation, Europe was great when it had one unified people.
@PrasharSdp@dgshipping_IN In my opinion there is no practical use of this website now a days, it's just a extra burden on DG shipping and on seafarers.
E-learning on @dgshipping_IN Website not working as per feedback from Seafarer. He says
" Because of this we can't get certificate. This problem occurs form wednesday".
Request action by DG Shipping
😔 दलालों ने मिलके मर्चेंट नेवी के बहाने से भाई को मौत के घाट उतारा की थी 8 लाख रूपये की मांग सब इन से दूर रहो दलालों से ओर जो आपके साथ गलत करें उसके साथ वैसा ही करो, न पुलिस सुनती,न कोर्ट,न डीजी शिपिंग न सरकार 😡seaman जाए तो कहा जाए 😡 @AllSeafarers@sui_union@dgshipping_IN
Hindu immigrants, as in US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Europe and worldwide, have been peaceful, productive, raising educational and economic standards, sharing yogic spiritual knowledge and building beautiful temples, not promoting any social unrest. They should be respected for their presence that elevates the society in which they live and upholds a peaceful future for all.
