Madhya Pradesh: Century-old police station in Betul district converted into museum

BHOPAL: In a first of its kind initiative, a police station in Madhya Pradesh’s Betul district — which has been in existence for over a century and also witnessed the freedom struggle — has been converted into a museum.

Betul’s Ranipur police station was set up as a police outpost in 1895 and converted into a police station in 1913. Records as old as 1913 are available and have been put on display as exhibits. The first case registered here was in 1900 regarding a theft under IPC Section 380.
