Deliberate act with the intention of tarnishing the image of the former chief minister Uma Bharti, said Umesh Garg in his complaint to the Crime Branch in Bhopal after a controversial video claiming a female IPS officer had arrested the BJP leader surfaced.

The video, uploaded on YouTube, claimed that the lady IPS officer arrived at the residence of former Madhya Pradesh chief minister Uma Bharti disguised as a maid and arrested her on charges of corruption.Upset over the claims made in the video, former chief minister Uma Bharti's personal secretary, Umesh Garg, has lodged a complaint with the Bhopal Crime Branch on Monday.

Crime Branch has registered a case against unidentified accused under sections 336 (4) and 356 (2) of BNS.The complaint regarding the video was lodged by Garg on behalf of Uma Bharti. The 45 second video in question carries a voiceover by an unidentified person who eilogises the lady IPS officer while claiming, "She is such an IPS officer who reached the Chief Minister's house as a maid to see her black deeds.

But you will also be surprised to see what happened later. Wait 40 seconds.""In the state where Deepa Diwakar Moudgil alias D Roopa, a sharp 2000 batch IPS officer, is present, no one can violate the law. She came into the limelight when she came to know that former Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh Uma Bharti is demanding money from contractors forcibly."

"Then Roopa reached the Chief Minister's house as a maid. As soon as she saw the Chief Minister demanding money from contractors, Roopa showed her real face and everyone was shocked. IPS officer D Roopa arrested the Chief Minister from her own house. Now you tell me whether every IPS officer should do his work with such honesty," questions the voice in the video.

Uma's personal secretary said  that this is an attempt to tarnish the image and in his complaint he stated that this reel has been deliberately, mischievously made by an unknown person with the intention of tarnishing the image of the former chief minister and senior BJP leader, defaming her, by editing the photos and videos and uploading baseless information on YouTube.

According to media reports, D Roopa is a 2000 batch IPS officer. She is currently posted in Karnataka. She had secured All India Rank 43 in the UPSC examination. Her first posting was in Dharwad district. D Roopa is the first lady police officer to hold the post of Home Secretary in her state. She is also the first woman police officer in the country who was given the command of cyber crime in the police division.Earlier on 15 August 1994, Uma Bharti allegedly hoisted the flag at Idgah in Hubli city of Karnataka. About 10 years later, a warrant was issued against Uma Bharti. At that time Uma Bharti was the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh. She resigned from the post of CM and went to Karnataka and appeared before the court in the southern state.
