MP News: Rise of Ex-RTO Constable Saurabh Sharma and Corruption Allegations

Saurabh Sharma, who began his career as a constable in 2015, allegedly amassed wealth through corrupt means after he retired voluntarily in 2023. His rise from a government job to a real estate tycoon has raised questions about his business dealings, with properties linked to his family and associates under investigation.

Sharma is accused of converting large sums of cash into gold and other precious metals, further complicating the investigation. An affidavit he submitted to secure his government appointment has surfaced, suggesting possible dishonesty in his early career.

Opposition Targets BJP 

The ongoing raids and corruption case have sparked a political storm in Madhya Pradesh, with the opposition accusing the ruling BJP of overlooking widespread corruption. At the same time, over 60 Lokayukta Police officials have been transferred, raising questions about the timing of the reshuffle.

While Chief Minister Mohan Yadav maintains that his government has zero tolerance for corruption, the political heat continues to rise as investigations by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Lokayukta intensify.
