Police officials suspect that the file went missing during the working hours.
Police informed that the file contained documents regarding an under-investigation case of Amritlal Meena who is Addl SP at Hoshangabad. Caste certificate and other important documents regarding his selection in the department were investigated which were present in the file, he added. A case of theft from enclosed premises under section 380 of the IPC has been registered against unidentified miscreant and investigation has been initiated, told Chouhan.
Police said Amritlal Meena appeared in the MPPSC examination and was selected in the year 1997 as DSP and provided caste certificate of reserve category which eased his selection. Presently Meena is posted as Additional Superintendent of Police at Hoshangabad. Earlier too, allegations against Meena were raised in the fake encounter in Morena district but after the completion of the investigation he was exonerated from the charges and given clean chit in the case.
Amritlal Meena told that the before the selection in the year 1997-98 the caste certificates were verified and were proved genuine. Meena who hails from Vidisha said that before 2003 Meena caste was provided reservation in the ST category and later kept in the OBC but as the selection was done before 2003 the selection in the ST category was valid. He further told that the selection in the ST category was challenged in the High Court and the matter is under trial.
