Madhya Pradesh / Collector, SP transferred after locals surround Tomar in flood-hit MP

BHOPAL: Madhya Pradesh government on Sunday transferred IPS officer posted as SP from Sheopur district over security lapses during Union agriculture minister Narendra Singh Tomar's visit. Collector Rakesh Srivastava has also been transferred out of the district.

Tomar was on Saturday mobbed by angry locals and mud was hurled at his motorcade as he visited the flood-affected Sheopur city.

Sheopur SP Sampat Upadhyay has now been posted as AIG police headquarters.

When Tomar visited the city to meet flood-victims, people registered their protest accusing him of a delayed response.
