Dewas police caught in cash-for-favour scandal:2 sub-inspectors removed after taking money from 11 cyber-fraud accused; woman staffer also under probe

In the case of setting 11 cyber-fraud accused free from inside the police station after allegedly taking lakhs of rupees in cash from them in Dewas district, the SP has suspended two SIs. SP Puneet Gehlod took action on Thursday against Kamalapur police station in-charge Upendra Nahar and Chapda police assistance centre in-charge Rakesh Narwaria. Both officers are accused of trying to save the accused from action by taking a large sum of money from them. The role of a female officer is also suspicious in this matter. She was posted in Indore. Action may also be taken against her. SI went on leave fearing investigation
The SP had line-attached the Kamalapur police station in-charge and Chapda outpost in-charge three days ago. Police station in-charge Upendra Nahar was sent to Kannauj police station. But fearing a departmental inquiry, he did not reach the police station. After this, he went on sick leave. When the SP came to know, he ordered the suspension of both. The SP has entrusted the responsibility of further investigation to ASP Kannod Soumya Jain. Kept misleading senior officers as well
In this case, Upendra Nahar brought around 11 boys from Vidisha, Indore, and other places to Kamlapur outpost. The next day, all the boys were asked to bring cash to the police station. Along with the arrested boys, some lawyers also arrived. After the transaction, bail was granted. In this matter, SI Upendra continuously misled senior officers. They were also not given correct information regarding cyber fraud. In this case, the victim party was also told that the money was not seized, and citing that the matter would be dealt with by the court, they were sent away.
