Bhopal, Mar 17:
More than two-dozen promotee IPS officers have been dumped at Police Headquarters or given low profile assignments. The senior most promotee IPS officer, Vijay Wate, is himself a victim of the system and is currently holding charge of the State Crime Records Bureau. He is an ADG rank officer and has an honest and dynamic officer image. Only four DIG level promotee officers are currently in the field, sources claim that they are highly connected and thus got their postings.
Neglect of these officers is pathetic as more than half a dozen State Police Services (SPS) officers who have not been conferred IPS Cadre, are holding districts while the promotee IPS officers sit on the back seat. According to sources, non IPS officer holding posts of SP in districts include IP Kulshreshth in Raisen, Asha Mathur in Rajgarh, PK Mathur-Shajapur, Satish Saxena-Ujjain, RL Prajapat-Betul, VK Syryavanshi-Sagar, RS Uiike-Harda, MK Katakwar-Burhanpur, Hari Singh Yadav-Satna, DK Arya-Damoh, RS Saket-SRP Indore, Rajendra Prasad-Shivpuri, SP Singh-Dewas, KD Parashar-Sehore, Ashish Kumar-Chhindwara, VC Verma-Umaria and KK Sharma-Mandla.
Apart from these officers, there are more than a dozen officers who have been given field postings and these officers are soon going to be decorated with IPS. Unfortunately, none of the promotee IPS officers are posted as range incharge in Madhya Pradesh.
The discrimination between direct IPS selectees and promotee IPS has come in open at Police Headquarters and the weaker link feel ignored especially when their junior officers are holding charge of SP in districts.
Although officers at PHQ categorically deny any policy for ignoring or suppressing promotee IPS officers. They claim that an IPS officer is a cadre post and makes no difference between promotee or direct UPSC selectees. But again they insist that there is no quota system that would fix percentage of postings between the direct and promotee officers.
