AN OFFICER BUT NO GENTLEMAN
When a police inspector was transferred out of Indore a few months ago, a powerful cabinet colleague close to the official told Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan not to expect any cooperation if the inspector was not brought back. Chouhan capitulated, but then suspended the official on October 8, reportedly on complaints by Indore BJP MP Shankar Lalwani, who accused the inspector of indulging in extortion. The Opposition is asking why the officer was brought back in the first place.
