“The shocking case of online delivery of ganja through Amazon online portal, the racket which was busted by Bhind Police of Madhya Pradesh, has taken another unfortunate turn as the SP Bhind, Manoj Kumar Singh who busted this sensitive case, has been transferred to PHQ Bhopal and the new SP taking his place will be Shailendra Chauhan who is surprisingly transferred from PHQ, Bhopal only. It was only a year before when Manoj Singh took the charge of SP Bhind, therefore it can’t be termed as routine transfer. The Confederation of All India Traders ( CAIT) has alleged the pressure of Amazon on the MP Government and as a result the officer has been transferred abruptly,” the CAIT release said.
