According to an official order issued by the finance department, Sevatkar has been posted to the office of the Joint Director under the Commissioner of Treasury and Accounts in Bhopal.
The transfer, made under local arrangements, assigns him no significant responsibilities, effectively sidelining him from key administrative roles. Sewatkar’s removal follows a Lokayukta investigation that led to the registration of an FIR against him on charges of corruption, criminal conspiracy and fraud. The probe reportedly uncovered a large-scale scam involving fake e-bills generated through specialised software.
