  • | Tuesday | 17th July, 2018

The chat even involved SSP Bulandshahr KB Singh. When the unspecified person asked if SSP Bulandshahr also takes money, the reply was "Direct koi nahi leta. Even I had to pay ADG Rs 50k for my transfer from Noida to Bulandshahr. Mere ko khud Noida se Bulandshahr aane men ADG ko Rs 50k dena pada (Brother this is Yogi government. The chat purportedly between Parshu Ram and an unidentified person states, 'Bhai Yogi sarkaar hai.

MEERUT: Top officials in UP Police are in for damage control and in denial mode after a social media chat allegedly involving Bulandshahr's Dibai police station SHO Parshu Ram went viral. So much was the impact of this chat that spoke about how bribe is taken by senior cops like ADG and SSPs for transfers that the SSP Bulandshahr KB Singh had to file an FIR against 'unknown' in this regard and the 'erring' SHO was suspended on Tuesday morning.ADG Meerut zone, Prashant Kumar on the other hand has labelled the entire episode as 'mischief'. The chat purportedly between Parshu Ram and an unidentified person states, 'Bhai Yogi sarkaar hai. Har jagah paisa chal raha hai. Mere ko khud Noida se Bulandshahr aane men ADG ko Rs 50k dena pada (Brother this is Yogi government. Everywhere bribe is being given. Even I had to pay ADG Rs 50k for my transfer from Noida to Bulandshahr.")It did not stop at that. The chat even involved SSP Bulandshahr KB Singh. When the unspecified person asked if SSP Bulandshahr also takes money, the reply was "Direct koi nahi leta. Yahan bhee charge baad mein mila. Pehle inke ek jaankaar ke maadhyam se Rs 3 lakhs bhivaaye agle din charge mila" (No one takes directly. Here also I got the charge only after I sent Rs 3 lakhs).Rubbishing the allegation, ADG Prashant Kumar said, "This is absurd and some kind of mischief to tarnish our image. Firstly this transfer was done by IG Meerut range and not me. I transfer officials from one range to another and not from one district to another. Moreover there is no mention of which ADG is being talked about. There are eight zones in UP."IG Meerut range Ram Kumar said, "This was a routine transfer. Regarding the chat messages, the authenticity of the same is being verified and there is possibility that the number was used by someone else to tarnish UP police image. Once investigation is complete, truth will come out."While Parshuram has also denied that he had written those messages and simply said, "It is a matter pertaining to cyber crime", however, he faced suspension at the hands of SSP Bulandshahr KB Singh on Tuesday morning.Singh has filed an FIR in the early hours of Tuesday against the unknown. The FIR's copy is with the TOI in which KB Singh alleges, "From the CUG number of Dibai SHO a chat has been made viral in which serious allegations of transfers against bribe have been levelled against me and senior police officials. This seems to have been done with malified intentions to tarnish my and my seniors' image."Interestingly, the FIR doesn't name Parshu Ram and has been filed against unknown under IPC sections 170 (pretends to hold any particular office as a public servant), 419 (punishment for cheating by personification), 468 (forgery for the purpose of cheating), using as genuine a forged document or electronic record), 500 (defamation) and relevant sections of Information Act 2008.
