CMHO suspects fraud over language, format of letter
Speaking about the case, Superintendent of Police Raghuvansh Singh Bhadoria said that on July 21, a fake order, drafted in the Chief Minister's name, was sent to Alirajpur Chief Medical and Health Officer (CMHO) Dr Rajesh Atulkar on WhatsApp. It instructed the transfer of Dr Nirmala Nigwal of the AYUSH department from Udaygarh to Sondwa.
