Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has suspended DSP Neha Pachisia, who earlier left her job as an air hostess to join the police service and was once honored by the CM.
The Madhya Pradesh government announced today that Deputy Superintendent of Police Neha Pachisia has been suspended by Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan. Pachisia, who quit her career as an air hostess to join the state police cadre, had previously been publicly praised by the CM for her transition into law enforcement.
The suspension order was issued without detailed public explanation, but it marks a significant reversal for an officer who had garnered attention for her unconventional career path. Pachisia's appointment as DSP had been highlighted in earlier reports as a success story of professional reinvention.
State officials confirmed that the disciplinary action follows internal procedures, and the matter will be examined by the relevant police oversight bodies. No further comments were provided by the police department or the chief minister's office at this stage.
The incident underscores the political sensitivity surrounding police appointments and disciplinary measures in the state, especially when the individuals involved have previously received high-profile recognition from senior leaders.
Further updates will be provided as the investigation progresses and official statements are released.
