A trainee Sub-Inspector in Raipur has been suspended following allegations that he demanded a bribe from a coaching centre operator during an investigation into a fake examination order issued in the name of the Chhattisgarh Professional Examination Board (Vyapam).

The suspended police officer has been identified as Mahesh Kumar Ogre. According to the complaint, the trainee SI allegedly demanded ₹1 lakh from the coaching centre operator to settle the matter and was accused of accepting ₹80,000. The allegations came to light after the operator approached senior police officials.

Bribery Allegation During Investigation

The case is linked to a fake examination order that was circulated in connection with the Vyapam Assistant Teacher and Lecturer Recruitment Examination 2026. The Rakhi police were investigating the circulation of the allegedly forged document.

During the investigation, Ogre allegedly pressured the coaching centre operator by warning him of possible police action. The operator later learned that he had no apparent connection with the fake order, but alleged that the police officer continued to demand money.

The complainant subsequently reported the matter to senior police authorities.

SP Orders Action After Inquiry

Following the complaint, senior officials conducted an inquiry into the allegations against the trainee SI. The preliminary findings reportedly raised concerns over alleged coercion, illegal recovery of money and misuse of official position.

Taking action on the findings, the Raipur Rural SP suspended Mahesh Kumar Ogre.

The suspension is an administrative action pending further investigation. The allegations against the officer will have to be established through the appropriate inquiry and legal process.

Fake Vyapam Order Case Under Investigation

The original case concerns a fake examination instruction that was circulated through WhatsApp and social media. The document was presented as an official Vyapam order, although the examination board had not issued it.

Following a complaint, Rakhi police registered a case against unidentified persons and began investigating the source and circulation of the forged document.

Police Probing Both Aspects

The investigation is now focused on two separate but connected aspects. Police are attempting to establish who prepared and circulated the fake Vyapam examination order. At the same time, the allegations of bribery against the trainee SI are also being examined.

Further action in both matters will depend on the findings of the ongoing investigation.

Suspension of Gobra Nawapara station head follows May 29 raid; primary keyword: Gobra Nawapara TI suspended

 The Raipur rural police on Friday suspended Gobra Nawapara station inspector (TI) Diwesh (reported as Diipesh in some notes) Jaiswal after allegations that he acted suspiciously during a raid on an illegal liquor sale on May 29, officials said.

According to the office of Raipur Rural Superintendent of Police (SP) Shweta Shrivastava Sinha, Jaiswal was placed under suspension pending an inquiry into his conduct during an operation by the ACCU Raipur Dehat unit at a roadside dhaba run by one Lalla Sonwani in Gobra Nawapara. The action order said the TI’s behaviour during the raid raised “serious disciplinary concerns.”

Raid and sequence

Initial reports indicate the Dehat ACCU team conducted the raid in the late evening on May 29 after receiving complaints of long-running illegal liquor sales in the Gobra Nawapara police station area. Officers reportedly found bottles of illicit liquor being sold at the dhaba and detained several persons for questioning.

Sources familiar with the matter said TI Jaiswal arrived at the scene after the Dehat team began the operation. The SP’s order alleges that Jaiswal had a private conversation with the dhaba proprietor away from other officers during the course of the raid. That exchange, the order added, prompted doubts about whether the TI exercised proper control of the spot and whether he followed instructions from senior officers.

Official action

SP Shweta Shrivastava Sinha formally ordered Jaiswal’s suspension from duty and placed him under the administrative control of the Raipur Rural SP office. The suspension order described the conduct as “serious indiscipline” and assigned Additional Superintendent of Police (Rural) Abhishek Jha to carry out an initial probe. Jha has been directed to submit a report within seven days, the SP office said.

“An inquiry has been entrusted to ASP (Rural) Abhishek Jha,” an official brief from the SP office stated. “Further action will be considered on the basis of the inquiry report.”

Background of complaints

Local residents and traders had lodged repeated complaints about illicit liquor being sold in parts of Gobra Nawapara for months, according to police sources. Senior district police officials had instructed field units to act on these complaints, but patrols and ad-hoc raids failed to fully curb the trade, sources said.

The ACCU’s Dehat team, which handles anti-contraband and special enforcement duties in rural pockets, has been conducting intelligence-led operations across Raipur district. This raid is among several recent actions targeting bootleggers and unlicensed sellers in peripheral areas.

Impact and public reaction

The suspension has been interpreted by many within the police department as a firm message against alleged collusion or laxity during enforcement drives. “Any hint of impropriety will be examined and acted upon,” a senior officer in the district headquarters told reporters on condition of anonymity. Local residents welcomed the move, saying visible action against errant officials would help reduce the illicit trade that they blame for crime and social problems.

At the Gobra Nawapara dhaba, proprietors and neighbours called the developments “disturbing” but said wider enforcement was needed. “We have complained multiple times about bottles being sold here,” a nearby shopkeeper said. “If anyone in uniform protects them, the problem won’t stop.”

Next steps

The inquiry led by ASP Jha will examine the raid records, statements of ACCU officers present, and any CCTV or mobile-phone footage that may exist. If the probe finds evidence of misconduct or dereliction, departmental proceedings and criminal investigations could follow, officials said.

The Raipur Rural SP office has asked for the investigative report within seven days, after which it will decide on suspension continuation, departmental charges, or restoration. Meanwhile, the ACCU and local police said operations against illegal liquor will continue in Gobra Nawapara and neighbouring areas.

A shocking video from Rewa district in Madhya Pradesh has raised serious questions over police discipline, showing a Dial-112 emergency response vehicle allegedly being used for quick alcohol delivery while on duty. The clip, which went viral on social media, has triggered strong public criticism of law enforcement in the area.

The incident occurred in the Gangev region of Rewa district. In the video, a young man is seen approaching a Dial-112 vehicle with bottles of beer and liquor from a nearby shop. Witnesses claimed the delivery happened moments after the vehicle's siren was activated, suggesting the police personnel inside had ordered the alcohol while supposedly on emergency response duty.

Video Triggers Public Outcry

Local residents expressed shock and disappointment over the visuals. Many questioned how emergency vehicles meant for public safety could be involved in such activities. The video spread rapidly online, with users sharing it widely and demanding strict action against those responsible. Several comments on social media highlighted concerns about the misuse of official resources and the erosion of public trust in the police.

Swift Action by District Police

Rewa Superintendent of Police Gurukaran Singh took immediate cognizance of the matter. He directed a prompt inquiry into the incident. Following preliminary findings, the SP ordered the suspension of two personnel on Tuesday morning.

The suspended employees are Constable Samar Patel and vehicle driver Anoop Vishwakarma. Both were attached to the Dial-112 unit involved in the controversy. Officials said the action was taken after initial evidence indicated their involvement in the alleged misconduct.

ASP Confirms Investigation Details

Additional Superintendent of Police Sandeep Mishra confirmed the developments. “After the video surfaced, we conducted an inquiry at the SDOP level. Both personnel were found prima facie guilty, leading to their immediate suspension,” Mishra said.

He added that a detailed investigation is still underway. Departmental proceedings will be initiated against the guilty officials based on the final findings. Senior officers have assured that no leniency will be shown in maintaining discipline within the force.

Background of Dial-112 Services

Dial-112 is Madhya Pradesh’s integrated emergency response system, designed to provide rapid assistance in police, medical, and fire emergencies. Vehicles under this service are equipped with sirens and are expected to remain on high alert, especially in rural and semi-urban pockets like Gangev in Rewa. 

The alleged incident has come as a setback for efforts to strengthen public confidence in the emergency response mechanism. Police sources noted that such lapses not only damage the department’s image but also compromise response times during genuine emergencies.

Impact on Public Perception

The episode has sparked wider debate on police accountability in Rewa and surrounding areas. Many citizens pointed out that while the state government has invested in modernising emergency services, ground-level discipline remains a challenge. Local shopkeepers and residents in Gangev said they had noticed suspicious movement around the vehicle but were hesitant to speak out initially.

Social media reactions ranged from anger to disappointment, with several users tagging senior police and government officials demanding a thorough probe and systemic reforms.

Next Steps in the Probe

Authorities have called for statements from witnesses and are examining call records and movement logs of the Dial-112 vehicle. The inquiry will also look into whether similar incidents had occurred earlier. 

Senior officials have instructed all Dial-112 units in the district to maintain strict protocols while on duty. The Rewa police administration has reiterated its commitment to zero tolerance towards any form of indiscipline.

The case continues to draw attention as the full investigation progresses. People in the district are watching closely to see how the matter is finally resolved and whether stronger safeguards are put in place to prevent future misuse of emergency vehicles.
