Pawar, in his memorandum, said, ” I was appointed as an inspector in 1995. In 2012, I was posted in PRTI, Bhopal.
My younger brother DSP Sanjay Singh Pawar lives in Chuna Bhatti. I used to visit him. I came to know that IG Sonali Mishra’s brother Bharat Mishra also lives there whom I befriended. During that day, my son Abhijit was preparing for SI examination and I came to know about his other friends who belong to Rajput samaj. During a discussion Mishra told me that he knew Vyapam officer Nitin Mahindra and Mahindra can help candidates for exchange of Rs 10 lakh. I collected Rs 65 lakh from the candidates and gave the amount to Mishra to hand it over to Mahindra.” Besides, Mishra, in his memorandum, said, ” I was given Rs 65 lakh and handed over Rs 49 lakh to Nitin Mahindra for selection of 7 candidates Abhijit Singh Pawar, Jitendra Singh Chandrawat, Jitendra Singh Raghuvanshi, Kamlendra Singh, Bhupendra Singh, Harshvardhan and Kunal Singh.
