Kripa Shankar Kannaujiya, 59, has been demoted to his original rank of constable on Saturday, cancelling all his promotions in a move considered rare.
Kannaujiya, who was Circle Officer in Unnao in 2021, took leave from work citing family engagements but did not go home and was instead found with a woman constable in a hotel near Kanpur.
Police authorities initiated a probe against him after his wife created a scene at the spot.

Kannaujiya has a year left before retirement and he has to perform the duties of a constable due to his demotion.
