Lucknow: Manilal Patidar, an IPS officer who has been absconding for almost one and a half years, finally surrendered in the court of Additional District Sessions Judge / Prevention of Corruption Act Lokesh Varun on Saturday. Patidar's counsel Aishwarya Pratap Singh and Randhir Singh, who was the Superintendent of Police of Mahoba, argued in the court that Patidar has been implicated in a false case. However, the court has ordered to send Patidar into judicial custody for 14 days.

Patidar, a 2014 batch IPS officer, was suspended by the government on September 9, 2020, in a serious corruption case. In September 2020, a case was registered against Patidar in Mahoba under sections including abetment to suicide of crusher businessman Indrakant Tripathi. The crusher businessman was killed in the police recovery game. In this case, the police were searching for him. A reward of one lakh was also announced on Patidar.

Let us tell you that Mahoba's crusher businessman Indrakant Tripathi was shot on 8 September 2020 under mysterious circumstances. About 5 days later, he died during treatment at a hospital in Kanpur. Indrakant Tripathi released a video a day before the incident i.e. on 7 September 2020, making serious allegations against Patidar. He had also expressed the possibility of killing himself.

Indrakant had alleged that IPS Patidar demanded a bribe of six lakh rupees from him. Patidar started threatening to kill or send him to jail for not paying the bribe. After Indrakant's death, his family filed a case against Manilal Patidar, then Inspector Devendra of Kabrai police station, constable Arun and two others.
