The Madhya Pradesh Lokayukta police on Wednesday, 14 October conducted searches across 15 locations in Indore and Dewas in a disproportionate assets case against Firoz Khan, a head constable and driver posted at the Police Training College (PTC) in Indore. Preliminary findings indicate assets worth approximately ₹6.26 crore — around 223 per cent more than his estimated income.
Scale of the Raids
Joint teams from the Indore and Ujjain Lokayukta offices launched simultaneous operations beginning at 6 am, covering 11 locations in Dewas and 4 in Indore. Properties searched included houses, flats, agricultural land, and commercial premises. In Dewas, the searches covered localities such as Adarsh Nagar, Pushpakunj Colony, Vijay Nagar Colony, Indira Gandhi Nagar, and Radhaganj. In Indore, investigators visited a residence in Banganga and flats in Manorama Apartments in Scheme No. 94 and Sridevi Apartments in Srinagar Colony.
Assets Far Exceed Income
Lokayukta Superintendent of Police Rajesh Sahay told reporters that Khan's salary income was estimated at around ₹75 lakh, while his total income — including earnings from other sources — was assessed at approximately ₹1.93 crore. Against this, the preliminary investigation has revealed disproportionate assets worth around ₹6.26 crore. 'The preliminary investigation has revealed disproportionate assets worth around Rs 6.26 crore, about 223 per cent higher than his estimated income,' Sahay said.
Shell Firms and Property Dealings Under Scanner
Investigators uncovered a firm named Sahil Trading Company, registered in the names of Khan's mother and wife, through which transactions worth crores of rupees allegedly took place. A second entity, Roshni Sales and Service, operated by Khan's acquaintance Roshni Verma, has also come under scrutiny. Verma has been named as an accused for her alleged role in facilitating land purchases. Investigators are additionally examining Khan's investments routed through a real estate firm called Royal Green Real Estate.
Land Dispute and Alleged Abuse of Position
According to the complaint, Khan allegedly leveraged his position in the police department to intervene in land disputes in the Dewas area, purchased assets through intermediaries, and registered properties in the names of family members and associates. The probe covers a deal involving approximately 21.75 bighas of agricultural land in Guran village under Sanwer tehsil in Indore district. Khan allegedly used an ongoing land dispute between a complainant's son and his father to facilitate a registered agreement for this land in Verma's name. Khan also reportedly owns multiple vehicles and runs a timber business.
Investigation Status and What Comes Next
The searches are being supervised by DSPs Sunil Talan and Deepak Sejwar in Dewas, and by DSPs Anand Chauhan and Dineshchandra Patel in Indore. The Lokayukta is examining documents related to properties, bank accounts, investments, and business transactions. Further action, including potential arrest or chargesheet, will be determined based on the evidence gathered, according to officials.
Point of View
Benami property routes, and third-party intermediaries suggests a level of financial sophistication that demands scrutiny beyond the individual accused. What the Lokayukta must establish is whether Khan operated alone or benefited from institutional cover — particularly given his alleged role in intervening in civil land disputes, which is far outside a driver's official remit. Without follow-through on the named associates and the firm-level transactions, the raid risks becoming another high-profile search that does not convert into a conviction.
