Former bureaucrat Ram Singh first IAS to be terminated in MP

He was caught by the CBI while accepting a bribe when he was posted as General Manager of Delhi Milk Supply (DMS)

The sacking of tainted IAS couple Arvind and Tinu Joshi from service is only the second instance of its kind in Madhya Pradesh.

Twenty-two years ago, Ram Singh, an IAS officer of the Madhya Pradesh cadre was caught by the CBI while accepting a bribe when he was posted as General Manager of Delhi Milk Supply (DMS) on Central deputation.

Singh, an officer of the 1972 batch, had sought a bribe of Rs 2 lakh from milk societies to reverse his decision to increase the security deposit for supplying milk from Rs 6 lakhs to Rs 10 lakhs.

He was later sentenced to five years rigorous imprisonment.
