State cabinet minister Kailash Vijayvargiya’s statement on why he is not going to West Bengal has given the opposition Congress the ammo to approach the Election Commission against him. At an event in the Ratlam district, Vijayvargiya said he was not going to Bengal, as he feared he could be arrested there in false cases. There are arrest warrants and 38 fake cases against me, so I’m not going to Bengal.” Just after his remark, the MP Congress reportedly approached the EC, demanding that Vijayvargiya’s 2023 assembly election win from the Indore-1 seat be nullified for concealing facts in his 2023 polls affidavit.

Two cops suspended over indiscipline

Improper professional conduct at a review meeting has reportedly led to the suspension of two assistant sub inspectors of police (ASIs) and the line attachment of three police station in-charges and a constable in Balaghat district.

During the video conference, two ASIs were found laughing and chewing paan, which led to their immediate suspension by the SP-Balaghat district’s Aditya Mishra. Three police station in-charges and a constable, Shailesh, were line-attached reportedly over similar improper behaviour.
