Meerut, Dec 4: Police inspector Subodh Kumar Singh, who was murdered by the Hindutva extremists yesterday at Syana village of Bulandshahr district in Uttar Pradesh, was also the investigation officer (IO) in the 2015 lynching of Mohammad Akhlaq by another group of Hindutva extremists at Bisadha village in Greater Noida’s Dadri.

Singh had collected all the circumstantial evidence after the incident, including the meat sample from Akhlaq’s house. However he was transferred to Varanasi in the middle of the investigation, by the government.

“He was the IO of the Akhlaq lynching case from September 28, 2015 to November 9, 2015. The charge-sheet in the case was filed by a different IO in March 2015," said UP ADG (law and order) Anand Kumar.

Originally a resident of Targana village in Etah, Singh joined UP Police in 1998 and spent considerable period of his police career in the Meerut zone, including Meerut, Saharanpur and Muzaffarnagar districts. Singh is survived by wife and two teenage sons.

“Singh will always be known for his stronghold over crime. He was very hard-working and always had a smiling face. After being transferred from Bisadha, he was sent to Varanasi and later to Mathura where he was promoted. He was the SHO Vrindavan for a very long time before he was deployed in Bulandshahr,” a batch-mate was quoted as saying by a news paper.

During an encounter in Vrindavan in January 2016, he had also suffered injuries. He took over as station officer of Syana just two months ago.

Prashant Kumar, ADG (Meerut zone), said, “We have lost an able officer in this violence. We will ensure the perpetrators of this attack are not left unpunished. A high-level investigation is under way.”

Mangaluru, Feb 10: Life of a 40–year-old man, who suffered a massive cardiac arrest, was saved by an ambulance driver who covered 80-km distance between Dharmasthala and Mangaluru in just 40 minutes.

The patient, a Chikkaballapur native sustained a heart attack near Sakleshpur on Saturday while he was on his way to Dharmasthala. He was provided preliminary treatment at a private hospital in Ujire, where doctors advised his relatives to shift him to a hospital in Mangaluru immediately.

The patient’s condition was critical and the odds were completely against him. Moreover owing to the ongoing double lane project work, the road too had been dugout. Despite all this, ambulance driver Hameed drove at a fast pace and managed to take the patient to the hospital within 40 minutes.
