Sagar Police superintendent Atul Singh was also transferred days after chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan pulled him for the demolition of a former village head’s house. The Brahmin community held a panchayat against the state government after the demolition. Atul Singh, who later went on a long leave, has been shifted to police headquarters. Tarun Nayak will replace him as the Sagar Police superintendent.

The house was demolished after a man from Other Backward Class was allegedly killed by four people including the former village head. It was allegedly constructed on government land.
