New Delhi (13.07.2021): The Chhattisgarh government has filed caveats against IPS officer GP Singh in the Supreme Court who was suspended in a disproportionate assets case and later booked under sedition charges. Premises of the suspended IPS officer was raided by the state’s Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) and Economic Offences Wing (EOW) for disproportionate assets case. As per the police, documents recovered during the raids revealed that Singh was allegedly involved in promoting enmity and hatching conspiracy against the government and public representatives. He was also booked under sedition charges. The state government has filed two caveats through its standing counsel Sumeer Sodhi seeking to be heard before any order is passed by the court in a case related to the suspension of the officer and in the disproportionate assets case. Singh was booked under IPC sections 124-A (sedition) and 153-A (promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, place of birth, residence, language, etc) of the IPC at Raipur’s City Kotwali Police Station last week.
