Indore (Madhya Pradesh): A sensational case from 2022 outside the Indore Police Control Room involving a love affair, blackmail, and greed has finally concluded with the dismissal of ASI Ranjana Khande from service.<br /><br />The case dates back to 2022 when TI Hakam Singh Pawar of Bhopal’s Shyamala Hills police station was having coffee with ASI Ranjana Khande at the Indore Control Room premises. A dispute erupted between the two, during which TI Pawar fired a shot at Ranjana with his service revolver. The first shot grazed her ear, causing her to faint. Believing she was dead, Pawar then shot himself, leading to a tragic scene.<br /><br />Police initially thought a third party had attacked them, but the TI’s revolver was found nearby, and once Ranjana regained consciousness, the matter was handed over to a Special Investigation Team (SIT).<br /><br /><br />The SIT probe revealed shocking details: TI Pawar and ASI Khande were involved in a love affair, despite Pawar being married three times. Ranjana Khande was allegedly blackmailing Pawar, demanding money, a bungalow, and luxuries. She reportedly possessed pornographic videos of Pawar, which she used for extortion. The dispute escalated in Indore, culminating in the shooting incident.<br /><br />A case of abetment to suicide (Section 306 IPC) was registered against TI Pawar, and the trial is currently pending. Meanwhile, a departmental inquiry against Ranjana Khande confirmed the allegations of misconduct. Initially, she faced a one-year pay freeze, but after review, authorities deemed the punishment insufficient for the severity of her actions. Consequently, ASI Ranjana Khande has now been dismissed from service.<br /><br />The case remains a cautionary tale of personal misconduct within the police force and its tragic consequences.<br /><br />#IndorePoliceScandal #ASI-RanjanaKhande #HakamSinghPawar #LoveAffairTragedy #BlackmailInPolice #MadhyaPradeshNews #PoliceMisconduct #BreakingNews #CrimeInPolice #JusticeAndDiscipline
