Absconding former DIG RK Shivhare who was accused of facilitating Pre-PG 2012 examinations and candidates of Subedar/Sub Inspector/Platoon Commander Examinations conducted by MPPEB surrendered at the STF police station here on Monday.
Shivhare’s arrest is seen as important development in the Pre-PG 2012 and Subedar/Sub Inspector/Platoon Commander examinations investigation conducted by the STF.
After Shivhare’s name surfaced in the MPPEB examination fraud he was transferred to the police headquarters Bhopal but instead of reporting to the headquarters he went absconding and remained missing until he dramatically appeared at the STF office on Monday at around 11 am. STF has confirmed that Shivhare would be produced in the court on Tuesday and confirmed that the investigation are on.
