In Madhya Pradesh, four IPS officers, including Inspector General of Police and a Deputy Inspector General, were called by Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Sunday as “regrettable public conduct”.
In a post on X, CM Yadav said, “Superintendent of Police of Katni and Superintendent of Police of Datia, and IG, Dig Chambal Range have treated in a manner that is regrettable in public service. For this reason, I have instructed them to remove them with immediate effect.”
The Home Department has issued transfer orders for 10 senior police officers in the state. Among them were Sagar IGP Pramod Verma, who is leading a special investigation team formed to investigate Tribal Affairs Minister Kunwar Vijay Shah on his comments on Colonel Sophia Qureshi. The police, however, said that “this is a regular transfer and has nothing to do with the Vijay Shah case”.
Sources in the police department told The Indian Express that Dig (Chambal) Kumar Saurabh, IG (Chambal) Sushant Kumar and Virendra Kumar, SP, Datia were transferred to the crowd on 31 May during the virtual opening of Datia Airport. And there was also the reason for transfer.
“The two officers were present at the Datia Airport during the inauguration by the Prime Minister (Narendra Modi). IG Chambal made a comment for Sp Datia on the crowd control system.
According to the order, Dig Kumar Saurabh, IGP Kumar and SP Kumar were all transferred to the police headquarters in Bhopal.
Katni SP Abhijeet Ranjan was another officer who was shifted to Police Headquarters (PHQ), Bhopal. Damoh Tehsildar Shailendra Bihari Sharma alleged that SP Ranjan, his wife Khyati Mishra, under the instructions of a police officer, who were previously posted in Katni district, and other family members were “attacked” inside a woman police station after taking custody on Saturday.

Sharma said, “We have been complaining against the SP for the last eight to nine months. About 8-10 members of my family were attacked and the responsible person is SP Ranjan.”
Sharma alleged that after the transfer of his wife, the family was packing to go out of the government quarters when the family arrived. SP Ranjan denied the allegations.
