When contacted, Bhopal (South) superintendent of police Anshuman Singh said the police had not received any complaint in this regard.
"We got to know about this from the media only," he said.
Nirmala Sharma, a resident of Shahpura locality in Bhopal said that her only son, Captain Devashish Sharma of Punjab Battalion, was killed on December 10, 1994, during Operation Rakshak.
Talking about the issue, Madhya Pradesh CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan said that his government will suspend the officials who asked for bribe from the mother of martyr Devashish Sharma.
On Friday, MP home minister Bhupendra Singh visited Nirmala and assured her that he will bring the matter to the consideration of home & defense ministers of the country.
Captain Devashish Sharma was posthumously awarded Kirti Chakra by the government of India and a bravery award by the Jammu and Kashmir government.
The medals were stolen during a theft at their house on October 21, 2014, regarding which a report was lodged in Shahpura police station.
"Forget about original, all I want is duplicate medals. I will be really thankful to govt if they help me", said the martyr's mother Nirmala.
