Vidisha collector moved a fortnight after he cited an ASI notification to refuse puja at the Bijamandal; the CM's office said it was part of a routine 26-officer reshuffle.

This count comes from analyses of service records, not from a reported dispute. Few of these moves have a published reason, and a high count is not evidence that the officer was punished.

The moves, and what came of them

    Vaidya refused a plea to allow puja inside the ASI-protected Bijamandal at Vidisha on Nag Panchami, citing the ASI's 1951 gazette notification that names it a mosque. ThePrint reports that a group led by BJP MLA Mukesh Tandon then entered the premises to perform puja. About a fortnight later he was moved.

    The other side said
    Deccan Chronicle: 'Sources in the Chief Minister's Office denied that the transfer of the 2014-batch IAS officer had anything to do with the controversy. He was among the 26 IAS officers who were transferred, they said.'
    Outcome
    Roshan Kumar Singh posted as Collector, Vidisha.
    What became of the matter
    Unknown. MLA Tandon said he would seek a court-ordered survey of the monument (Deccan Chronicle). Outcome not traced.
