Patna, Dec 08: Bihar Director General of Police D P Ojha, who was at loggerheads with the government, was today sacked barely two months before his retirement. The move comes in the wake of a cabinet meeting held yesterday where members were unanimous that the DGP should be removed and departmental proceedings initiated against him for his "intemperate" comments against politicians.

Last Friday Ojha had said political power in Bihar had gone into the hands of 'lafange' (rascals).

RJD president Laloo Prasad Yadav yesterday said it was unbecoming of a senior bureaucrat to speak like a politician. "Rather than speaking his mind out, the DGP should concentrate on delivering the goods as the police chief.
Official sources said the name of his successor will be announced soon, official sources said.
