Bhopal PHQ Closes 32-Year-Old Corruption Case

The Police Headquarters in Bhopal has closed a 32-year-old corruption case against former minister Dayal Singh Tumrachi. Tumrachi, who was a minister in the Digvijaya Singh government, had been accused of recommending the appointment of six people as forest guards in exchange for money.

The case was registered in 1994, but the original documents went missing, blocking the closure process. Despite efforts to locate them, the documents were not found. Tumrachi passed away in 2018.

The case was finally closed this year due to lack of evidence and the death of the accused. The Police Headquarters had concluded that there was not enough evidence to prosecute Tumrachi in 2010, but the case remained open due to bureaucratic delays.
