Shajapur, on Ganesh Chaturthi 27th August, journalists of the district have become angry over serving of a simple notice to the District President and preferred journalist of Madhya Pradesh Shramjeevi Patrakar Sangh like a permanent absconding warrantee. The functioning of Shajapur Collector and Shujalpur SDM is being said to be under suspicion in the matter. Ujjain Divisional President of Madhya Pradesh Shramjeevi Patrakar Sangh Manoj Jain has called this action of the administration illegal and has demanded appropriate action against the concerned officials from the government. Mr. Jain said that the administration served a simple notice on the lines of a big habitual criminal or permanent warrant to harass Abhishek Saxena, District President of Shajapur of Madhya Pradesh Shramjeevi Patrakar Sangh. A complaint in this case of intimidation and adopting illegal working style has been made by Madhya Pradesh Shramjeevi Patrakar Sangh. In this regard, a complaint application has also been given in Shujalpur Mandi Police Station. Divisional President Jain has strongly condemned this irresponsible act of the officers.

On the basis of the road blockade in Freeganj area recently, a notice was issued against Abhishek Saxena from the Collector's Court. For its execution, Shujalpur's Executive Magistrate KL Chauhan, Jamadar Liaquat, Policeman Shivnarayan Sen and servant Vinod Jat made several rounds of Saxena's residential colony premises in a government vehicle like an organized gang. The colony employee also made journalist Saxena talk to KL Chauhan on the phone, on which Saxena said that he would come by 5 o'clock to get the notice. Despite this, the said officer reached his residence and threatened Saxena's employee and said that tell the journalist to go to the Collector and SDM Madam and publish news in the interest of the administration, otherwise we know how to explain it properly. Even after this, they did not stop and wrote a false comment on the notice in their other residential colony that "Tamil was forbidden", took a photo of it and started taking it back. On this, Saxena told them on the phone that I am about to reach and will get the Tamil after reaching the residential complex. When other journalist colleagues came to know about this illegal working style of the officers, they also reached the spot and they also lodged strong objection. The officers present on the spot also accepted in front of the media present that despite Ganesh Chaturthi holiday, we have come here to get this Tamil done on the verbal instructions of Shajapur Collector Riju Bafna and Shujalpur SDM Archana Kumar. Even before this, on August 26, Jamadar Liaqat of the tehsil got the Tamil notice of August 25 served a day after the date had passed under the pressure of SDM Archana Kumari. The video of which is also present with Saxena as proof. In the video, the Jamadar said that "SDM Madam said not to put the date below the signature". He also got two witnesses to sign on that paper as proof.

Journalist Abhishek Saxena has directly accused Collector Shajapur Riju Bafna and Shujalpur SDM Archana Kumari of implicating him in a false case. He has also said that both these officers have imposed an undeclared emergency in Shajapur district. He has also warned of a big agitation soon. A complaint application has also been given by the journalists of Madhya Pradesh Shramjeevi Patrakar Sangh to register a case against the guilty officers and employees in Mandi Police Station. At the same time, a demand has also been made to Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav, Chief Secretary Anurag Jain to suspend Shajapur Collector Riju Bafna and Shujalpur SDM Archana Kumari.
