Overview

• DFO Neha Shrivastava alleges Balaghat MLA Anubha Munjare summoned her to the Balaghat Forest Rest House on August 16 and demanded “2–3 peti” in cash.
• She says that after she refused, the legislator used abusive language, threatened to “take care of me,” and warned she would seek her transfer and stage protests in Bhopal.
• Forest Department Secretary Atul Kumar Mishra ordered an inquiry, assigning a two-member team — Kamalika Mohanta and Suchita Tirki — to file a report within 15 days.
• The complaint also cites alleged misbehavior by the MLA’s personal assistant, who identified himself as her nephew, during the episode.
• The letter asserts a broader pattern of pressure tactics by the legislator, and the MLA had not responded to requests for comment as of the latest reports.
