Madhya Pradesh political tension rises over Dewas liquor case and police officer murder

Political tensions have escalated in Madhya Pradesh following a poisonous liquor incident in Dewas and the murder of Station House Officer Dilip Puri in Khategaon. The murder occurred during an operation against the liquor mafia, prompting the Congress party to accuse the state government of failing to maintain law and order.

In response to the poisonous liquor case, BJP spokesperson Rakesh Singh Yadav alleged that Congress leaders are linked to an illegal chemical supply network operating through the Indore pharmaceutical market. The BJP has raised questions regarding the roles of Congress State President Jitu Patwari and former city president Vinay Bakliwal, following the arrests of Anand Kasliwal, his son Aman Kasliwal, and Rahul Jaiswal.

The BJP has called for a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the pharmaceutical market to uncover the full extent of the chemical supply network. Meanwhile, the state government has announced one crore rupees in financial assistance and a government job for the wife of the deceased officer, Dilip Puri.
