A Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), who is accused in the infamous Vyapam scam, has been transferred to the police headquarters (PHQ) on Friday, while the case has been handed over to the CBI.
Notably, in the transfer list of 128 DSPs, the name of Mahipal Singh Yadav against whom two FIRs related to Vyapam case are registered, is also included. In the first FIR, it has been mentioned that the officer is absconding, while in the other case he is out on bail from the Supreme Court.
Posted as CSP in Bahodapur, Yadav had given application of four days’ leave to the then SP Pramod Verma. Thereafter, he went absconding in PMT scam and remained absent from duty for a long time.
When the Supreme Court gave him bail in advance, he approached the then SSP Santosh Kumar Singh to join duty but his joining was put on hold. Even after two FIRs, he was posted in Gwalior. Now he has been transferred to PHQ from Gwalior.
It is learnt that PHQ has taken the action after this case was sent to CBI. He got his daughter Monika Yadav selected in PMT through a solver in 2009. This case is registered in Jhansi road police station, with crime no; 138-13. In this case, together Monika Mahipal Singh is also accused. In 2013 he prepared younger daughter Mohita Yadav to appear in PMT from Indore and set a solver in her place. The Indore police have registered an FIR no; 439-13 against Mohita and Mahipal Singh in Rajendra Nagar. The connection of Mahipal Singh with influential people tried to save him through the posting.
According to sources, Mahipal Singh had connections with senior ministers and officer so he always got the indirect support from them. The RI Manoj Verma said that he is not taking any facilities and his vehicle is kept in police line. He has not taken any orderly as well. Establishment clerk PK Shrivastava said Mahipal Singh Yadav gave a leave application for July 19, 2014 and since then he did not turn up. Since, his name was included in transfer list, it is considered Yadav was posted in Gwalior.
