Indore: IAS officers were arrested at Indore on Saturday night, in complaints of judges, for allegedly contacing two court orders related to the case of him for accusing a woman’s criminal intimidation.
Santosh Verma, 51, was accused of using false documents to be promoted from state cadres to IAS.
This is the first time an IAS officer was arrested at Madhya Pradesh on such allegations.
Complaints against bureaucrats were submitted by justice judge (first grade) Bijendra Singh Rawat, who heard the case of criminal intimidation against him, SP Ashutosh Bagri told TII.
Verma, an additional commissioner with the urban administration department, was arrested by the police after 12 hours of sustainable interrogation.
“He has produced a fake order for his promotion to the IAS cadre.
But on the date mentioned in the order, the judge is on leave,” SP Bagri said.
The IAS officer produced before the local court on Sundays and Parmar’s dilip judge returned him in police custody until July 14.
The previous case against Verma came from four years when the police posted him because it voluntarily caused circulation wounds, criminal intimidation, and circulation about a woman’s complaint.
In 2020, the Department Promotion Committee was considering the administration of IAS cadres to Verma, who later the CEO of Zilla Panchayat, but the question emerged in a delayed criminal case.
Verma allegedly produced the ‘command of completion’ in disputes with the woman, and a copy of the liberation command, dated October 6, which he was present on October 8, the department sent orders to the police station General Inspector Check whether the appeal could be submitted against the release.
The District Prosecution Office (DPO) examined court notes and found that it was a single sequence for completion and release while Verma allegedly produced two orders.
DPO sends reports that the appeal cannot be submitted in this case.
When the woman knew that, she wrote to the main secretary, saying that there was no court about completion or liberation.
The probe arrived at the time of the judge filed an official complaint with the police on June 27.
The investigator said Verma tried to blame the woman, alleged her that he had given him a false order, but his claim fell when it was revealed he was the one who had moved the court, which led to the discovery of forgery.
