On Friday, the Amravati police, IFOS officer B.K. Vinod Shivakumar was arrested near the railway station. He was planning to flee from Nagpur to Bengaluru; later, the state government suspended it as the incident created panic among the government and the bureaucracy.
Chavan-Mohite, a 28-year-old range forest officer with a cheerful temperament, had a mild temperament for the poor, and on the other hand, he used to break up as a time for enemies, due to which people came to know him by the name of Lady Singham. Due to much talk of her bravery, she started knocking in the eyes of high officials. And one day, it came to light that this brave woman had committed suicide by shooting herself due to the atrocities being committed on her; in a suicide note, she also made many serious allegations against Reddy Shivakumar. Reddy has been accused of sexual harassment, torture, financial loss, and mental trauma, due to which the officer suffered a miscarriage last month.
Deepali Chavan-Mohite was a courageous woman; she loved to ride a bullet motorcycle; she had driven out the smugglers who were cutting the trees many times.
