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.”

Belagavi,  Jul 19: In a heart-wrenching incident, a woman used a pushcart to take the body of her dead husband to the crematorium after she allegedly did not receive any help from relatives who suspected him to have died of Covid.

The woman and her son were seen pushing the body in the Athani thaluk of Belagavi.

The man had died two days ago at his residence and no family member apart from the close members attended the last rites due to the fear that he was COVID-19 positive.

It was later found that the deceased person was COVID-19 negative.

A total of 3,693 new COVID-19 positive cases and 115 deaths were reported in Karnataka on Friday, said the state health department.

The total number of COVID-19 cases in the state is presently at 55,115, including 33,205 active cases. While there are 20,757 recoveries, the death toll stands at 1,147.
