Bhopal, Jun 1 (PTI) Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Sunday removed four IPS officers from their field posts for “regrettable behaviour in public service”.
“The superintendents of police of Katni and Datia, as well as the Inspector General and Deputy Inspector General of Chambal Range, behaved in a manner which is regrettable in public service. Hence, instructions have been given to remove them with immediate effect,” the chief minister said.
While Katni SP Abhishek Ranjan was transferred because of an alleged incident in which relatives of a tehsildar and his CSP (city superintendent of police) wife were manhandled by the police in the district on Saturday night over some family dispute, police sources said.
Datia SP Virendra Kumar and Chambal Range IG Sushant Kumar Saxena and DIG Kumar Sourabh were transferred for behaving inappropriately in front of the public, the sources added.
Meanwhile, the state government posted IPS officer Suraj Verma as the SP of Datia and Abhinav Vishwakarma as Katni SP. In the Chambal Range, Sachin Atulkar has been made the IG, while Sunil Kumar Jain has been given the post of DIG, an official said.
