Amitabh Bachchan's request to Madhya Pradesh govt compounds cop-couple's trouble

BHOPAL: For a cop couple from

Madhya Pradesh

, backed by none other than super star Amitabh Bachchan- it’s like jumping out of the frying pan into the fire. While participating in Kaun Banega Crorepati(KBC), a traffic constable from Mandsaur had explained to the mega star about his plight that his wife was posted away in Gwalior and he was living alone in Mandsaur.


Amitabh Bachchan after giving a patient hearing to

Vivek Parihar

also made an appeal to the officials in Madhya Pradesh to provide relief to Parihar. The cop had also won a prize Rs 25 lakh in the show.

Bachchan appealed, "Whoever is looking after the transfers in the state, should make sure that this couple is posted in one place. Please unite them, it won’t cost you anything."

As soon as BJP MLA Yashpal Sisodiya from Mandsaur learnt about Vivek’s issue, he appealed to state chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and DGP through Twitter to unite the couple.

After hogging the limelight, stories of the couple appeared on TV screens as well as on the news papers. His wife Priti posted in

Inderganj police station

also expressed her desire to live together with her husband.

Finally on January 18, the Police headquarter(PHQ) released the transfer orders. She was sent on deputation to the narcotics wings of the state police in Mandsaur for three years.

Following her transfer, Vivek said, "our elderly parents live in Gwalior and by transferring my wife to Mandsaur in fact will compound our problems. Now who would look after our mataa pita”.

The MLA from Mandsaur Yashpal Singh Sisodia who had tweeted requesting the officials to unite the couple after the KBC episode said on Tuesday, "this was not what we had expected. Yeh toh asman se gire aur khajoor me latke samaan ho gaya”.

He has requested the authorities to reconsider the case and transfer Vivek to Gwalior. Will PHQ consider the request ?
