SEONI MALWA: The cops are supposed to prevent thefts and catch thieves. But what if the policemen themselves commit theft? This is what is happening in Seoni Malwa. The issue came to light when a team of the electricity department reached the office of the Sub-divisional Officer (SDOP) Ajay Sangar to check the power connection only to discover that the office was being run on pilfered power. There was no power connection at all in the office. In fact, the SDO’s office is yet to even apply for a power connection. After this theft came to light, the SDOP refused to talk to media persons. When journalists approached him, he said that he had an important meeting to attend. It is unlikely that the police will take any action in the matter.
