Rewa IG slams officers over syrup trade:Says, ‘Some cops polluting the pond’, claims to have full list; adds station heads can’t be unaware of racket

Rewa Range IG Gaurav Rajput on Monday issued a sharp warning to police officers during ‘Operation Prahar 2’ against drugs in Rewa. He said he has a list of officers “who are like fish that pollute the pond,” adding that if the list were made public, their families would feel ashamed. The IG cautioned station in-charges over their suspected involvement in the illegal trade of intoxicating syrup, remarking that bottles of the substance are found everywhere, and it is impossible for officers to be unaware of it. Bottles of intoxicating syrup are lying everywhere IG Gaurav Rajput clearly stated it is not possible that bottles of intoxicating syrup are lying everywhere and station in-charges have no knowledge about it. Said – Reform yourself, otherwise you will be responsible for your own fate The IG warned that those who are involved in such activities should reform themselves in time. Otherwise, 15 days after this campaign begins, they will be responsible for their own fate. Whatever happens to such people will happen, but I will be very sad that they will have to go to society wearing a garland of shame. What happened has happened, negligence will not be tolerated now The IG clearly said – What happened till now has happened. Now absolutely no mistakes, negligence or involvement will be tolerated. If you have been given a police station, then you will have to make your police station area free from medical drugs. Your hard work is needed in this campaign The IG said – All of you have done very good work so far, but now we need your dedicated efforts in this new mega campaign. The Vindhya region is sinking deeper into the grip of drugs. It is not possible to eliminate drugs completely until you understand this matter deeply. IG gave example of former Punjab DGP He said – Today an autobiography of former Punjab DGP is published in a newspaper. What happened with his own son has also been published. Even a DGP’s home and his son could not stay safe from drugs. If we don’t fulfill this collective responsibility properly, it will affect our conscience, when society looks at us with shame. Rewa becomes hub of intoxicating syrup, opposition also aggressive Reportedly, illegal trade of intoxicating syrup (Corex) is flourishing in Rewa. From Bhopal to Delhi, from streets to political corridors, there is discussion that Rewa has become the biggest hub of intoxicating syrup. The opposition is also attacking the government regarding this. Rewa MP and Deputy CM have also given instructions Rewa MP Janardan Mishra and Deputy CM Rajendra Shukla themselves have already asked the police administration to strictly curb this addiction. Despite this, it is alleged that this illegal business is running rampantly with the support of some police station in-charges and police personnel.
