Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): An ASI who was told to reach the complaint cell of PHQ in June 2024, had ‘disappeared’. Recently the case came to light in Vidisha where a police constable drew a salary of around ₹35 lakh in 12 years, despite neither reporting for duty nor undergoing mandatory training.
The PHQ officials informed that the ASI was told to reach the department and to report himself in the compliant cell on June 26, 2024. He appeared at the cell on July 1, 2024 but did not return to his duty place Sehore since. Neither he continued working in the cell.
But his salary was regularly sent into his account. Recently on July 1, 2025 the matter came to light and the police launched a search of the ASI. SP Sehore, Deepak Kumar Shukla told Free Press, ‘The officials of complaint cell can tell better on the issue’. He claimed that he did not know more about it.
