Madhya Pradesh Sports Department says that his job request is in the process. The job will be given after appropriate investigation. Parmar says that during Shivraj Singh Chauhan being the Chief Minister, he was promised to give him a government job and Rs 1 crore.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DSP post was offered<\/strong><br \/>Parmar has said that the whole matter has been suppressed. I was promised to give a government job and Rs 1 crore when Shivraj Singh Chauhan was the Chief Minister. The promise was as DSP. I got 50 lakh rupees, and never got a job. For the last one month, I have been trying to meet the authorities, but no one calls me. Nobody invites me to government programs. They only take pictures with us when we win medals and leave us at times of our need.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who is Kapil Parmar<\/strong><br \/>Born in Sehore, Parmar lost his vision in an electric shock in 2009.
