Bhopal, Sep 22 (UNI) Madhya Pradesh State EOW DG Anand Rao Pawar will assume charge tomorrow as the state's DGP, official sources said today.
The 1972 batch IPS officer, who was decorated with the Indian Police Medal, replaces Mr Swaraj Puri who has been shifted as DG (Home Guard) to replace Mr O P Garg who will be EOW DG.
It is believed that the government's decision was spurred by the EOW registering an FIR, in a case of cheating, against Mr Puri and two others following a court directive. Mr Puri allegedly secured admission for his son, through the NRI quota, in an engineering college at Indore.
Acting on a complaint by former corporator Mahesh Garg, Sessions Judge Akhilesh Pandya, on September 15, directed that an EOW inquiry be conducted by an officer of the level of Deputy Superintendent.
A case was registered yesterday against Mr Puri, his son Shreyas and Mr Babulal Somani under Section 13 of the Anti-Corruption Act besides sections 420, 467 and 468 of the IPC.
