Minister Govind Singh is accused of making Man Singh disappear. The Supreme Court ordered the formation of a new SIT. The OBC Mahasabha had filed a petition in the Supreme Court.
Navdunia Representative, Bhopal. The Supreme Court has ordered the formation of a new Special Investigation Team (SIT) in the case of Man Singh Patel who has been missing from Sagar since 2016. The order to form the SIT seems to be increasing the problems of Minister Govind Singh Rajput.
This is the whole matter
It is worth noting that Man Singh Patel has been missing since 2016. In a land dispute case, his son Sitaram Patel had accused Govind Singh Rajput and his associates of making his father disappear. Sitaram had applied to register an FIR in the police station, but the police registered Man Singh’s missing report.
After the minister’s name came up in this case, the police formed an SIT for investigation. The Supreme Court termed the investigation of this SIT as a mere sham and ordered to form a new SIT and include senior IPS officers from other states in it for investigation.
Minister accused of occupying ancestral land
Man Singh’s son Sitaram Patel had accused minister Govind Singh Rajput of his father’s disappearance and taking over his ancestral land. OBC Mahasabha had filed a petition in the Supreme Court in this matter. Man Singh’s son Sitaram Patel had claimed that his father went missing in August 2016 when he filed a complaint against Rajput. Sitaram had alleged that his father was made to disappear to silence him and take over the property.
Complaints were made several times on CM helpline too
Despite complaining to the local administration and CM helpline several times, no concrete police action was taken to trace Man Singh. After this, Sitaram approached the Supreme Court through the OBC Mahasabha.
I am in Guna right now. The Supreme Court has ordered the formation of an SIT in the case of the missing person. I welcome this, his family should get justice. I have especially heard from some people that who has been commented against in this, so neither has the court made any comment against me, nor have I been given any notice till date. Nor have I been called for investigation. I have got complete justice from the court in the conspiracy hatched by my political opponents. I will go to court against those who will make baseless statements and propaganda without reading the statement of the Supreme Court. If they do not agree, I will also file a defamation case. – Govind Singh Rajput, Minister
