Madhya Pradesh Congress To Knock Supreme Court’s Door Over Transport Scam

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Leader of Opposition Umang Singhar on Monday announced that Congress would approach the Supreme Court over alleged transport department scam and ex-constable Saurabh Sharma corruption case.

The Congress’ statement comes a day after the government transferred ADG Jaideep Prasad, the in-charge Director General (DG) of Lokayukta special police establishment (SEP), who has been investigating the corruption case involving Sharma. Prasad has been reassigned as ADG of the State Crime Record Bureau (SCRB) at the police headquarters in Bhopal.

'Investigation doesn't expose culprit'

"The way DG Lokayukta, Jaideep Prasad, who was investigating the case of Saurabh Sharma, has been removed (referring to transfer) it is clear that the government wants to suppress the whole matter. In our next step, we will move to the Supreme Court in connection with the Saurabh Sharam corruption case and transport department scam," said Singhar.

The Congress leader also alleged that even Central agencies are investigating the case but so far they have failed to trace the owner of the 52 kg gold bricks and Rs 11 crore cash seized from a car in forest area in Bhopal. The vehicle is registered under the name of Chetan Singh Gaur, an aide of Sharma.
