3 audios, one video lead to half police station suspended:ASI sent clips, alleged ₹50,000 taken to release tractors; feared threat from SI, ex-MLA

A major action has been taken in Morena after three audio clips came to light. The Superintendent of Police has suspended seven policemen from one police station. There were 15 staff members posted at the station, and two were already on leave. After the suspension of seven, only five policemen are now left on duty. The action was taken over alleged illegal collection of money in sand transportation. It is claimed that a police team caught five tractor-trolleys carrying illegal sand. Four of them were reportedly released after taking a bribe of Rs 50,000 each. The case took a new turn when the ASI himself sent an audio and video to the SP. In the message, he claimed that his life was in danger from a former MLA and the station in-charge. On the other hand, the station in-charge accused the ASI of protecting illegal sand transportation. Dainik Bhaskar has obtained these audio and video clips. Read the report 5 tractor-trolleys caught, action taken on only one On February 16, Chinoni Police Station in-charge Shambhu Dayal Batham, along with his staff, reached Hora Bara Ghat on the Chambal River to take action against the sand mafia. 5 tractor-trolleys were caught. The ASI made a video of this action and stated that out of the 5 vehicles caught, action was taken on only one. It was alleged against the SI that the remaining 4 tractor-trolleys were released after taking 50-50 thousand rupees. The ASI made videos while standing at the spot, in which he also counted 5 tractor-trolleys. ASI Kamlesh Kumar posted this video in the police officer group at night, along with three audio clips, which caused a stir. Read, excerpts from one video and three audios First, a 2 minute 10 second video Instructions for action regarding illegal sand transportation in the beat of ASI Kamlesh Kumar, posted at Chinnoni police station, were given by Station In-charge SI Shambhu Dayal Botham. When the ASI delayed, Botham himself reached with the team to catch the tractor. Botham stated that five tractors were caught. When the villagers gathered, the police could only bring one tractor. The remaining four tractors were taken away by the villagers. However, before this entire incident, the ASI made a video of five tractors, which was later uploaded to the officers’ group, and it was stated that the police released them after taking money. The video shows a person making the video. First, a sand-filled tractor-trolley was filmed from all sides. After this, videos of four more tractors were made one by one. Not only that, a JCB was also seen standing here, with the help of which sand was being loaded into the trolley. One trolley was also seen stuck on the way. Now, the audios that were uploaded to the group Audio-1 : Four sand tractors were released by Station In-charge Chinnoni, after taking 50-50 thousand rupees each, in front of the present Panchang police force. Action has been taken against one. Audio-2: Sir, please take appropriate action.
Audio-3: I am in danger of my life from Rocky Sikarwar, resident of Bharra, who comes under Chinnauni police station area, his father Hariom Jadoun, resident of Gunapura, Ajit Sikarwar and his associates. They can do anything against me, so if anything happens to me, Police Station In-charge Shambhu Botham and Subedar Singh Rajaudha will be responsible. The suspended Police Station In-charge made serious allegations against the ASI The ASI released an audio accusing the former BJP MLA and the station in charge. Meanwhile, the suspended station in charge has also made serious allegations against the ASI. He says that his absence was recorded in the daily diary and he himself was protecting the sand mafia. When the police station took action against him, he released the audio in frustration and under the influence of alcohol. Action taken in the daily diary According to suspended station in-charge SI Shambhu Dayal Botham, action for indiscipline and absence was taken by me against the said ASI Kamlesh Kumar. Previously, complaints of negligence in duty and quarreling with local people by him were made to senior officers. He was upset about this. Then, colluding with the sand mafia, he was protecting them. On the day of the incident, February 16, his absence was also recorded in the daily diary, and he was pressuring to withdraw it. As for leaving four tractors, the police team was surrounded by villagers there. So that the situation wouldn’t worsen, they took the tractor that was at hand to the police station and took action. All this is in the knowledge of senior officers. If there was a complaint against me, they should have informed senior officers with evidence. Making the audio-video public was not right. In this matter, when the Bhaskar correspondent called former BJP MLA Subedar Singh Rajaudha to know his side, his call was not received. Suspended due to negligence According to Additional SP Surendra Pratap Singh, the Superintendent of Police has suspended Chinnoni Police Station In-charge SI Shambhu Dayal Botham on grounds of indiscipline and negligence, due to allegations of taking bribes made by ASI Kamlesh Kumar and for making the audio-video public. Along with him, 5 constables have also been suspended. SDOP Sabalgarh will investigate this and will submit the report within ten days.
