Authorities have raised the bounty on suspended CSP Neha Pachisia and three co‑accused from ₹10,000 to ₹20,000 as they remain missing for two months; their anticipatory bail pleas have been rejected.
The Katni district police are investigating a land‑sale and abuse‑of‑office case that implicates former CSP Neha Pachisia, who was suspended pending inquiry. Along with three other accused, she is alleged to have misused her official position to facilitate illegal land transactions.
Both the suspended officer and the three co‑accused have evaded arrest for roughly two months. Their applications for anticipatory bail were dismissed by the court, leaving them fugitives.
In response, the police have doubled the reward for information leading to their capture, raising it from ₹10,000 to ₹20,000 per person. Officials said the increased bounty is intended to encourage public cooperation as the search intensifies.
The investigation remains ongoing, with authorities urging anyone with relevant information to come forward and assist in locating the missing suspects.
