Manoj Kumar Singh, Superintendent of Police (SP) in Madhya Pradesh’s Bhind, was transferred to Bhopal on Friday. In a major administrative reshuffle, the state’s home department transferred nearly a dozen police officers.
But not all of them were given the special kind of farewell that Manoj Kumar Singh got.
Bhind’s outgoing SP Manoj Kumar Singh was carried in a decorated doli (palanquin) by his fellow policemen at his farewell party on Saturday evening. The policemen carried out a procession during which drums were played and people danced.
The new SP, Shailendra Singh, was present at the farewell party. The station in-charges of all police stations in the district were also in attendance.
AMAZON-GANJA RACKET
The Bhind Police, helmed by Manoj Kumar Singh, recently busted a racket in which ganja was allegedly being delivered via e-commerce website Amazon. The police registered a case against the executive directors of Amazon India in connection with the case.
For this work, Manoj Kumar Singh’s work was praised among the residents of Bhind.
After his transfer, the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) released a statement expressing deep anguish and alleged that foreign multinationals like Amazon are controlling the administrative system of various state governments.The traders’ body said the online shopping giant was behind the police officer’s transfer.
