Lucknow, Dec 29: Investigation into the coldblooded murder of Uttar Pradesh’s upright police inspector Subodh Kumar Singh has brought to light a shocking truth that he was brutally tortured and his thumb was chopped by the self-proclaimed saviours of Hindutva before he was shot dead in broad daylight at Bulandshahr earlier this month.

According to police sources, the officer was hit with a sharp axe first, assaulted with stones and sticks before being shot dead.

The police on Thursday arrested Prashant Natt, the person they claimed shot dead officer Singh after snatching his service pistol. They are now trying to nab others who assaulted the officer before he was shot.

The mob also tried to burn the officer’s body, which was hanging by the door of his official jeep in the middle of the fields in Syana, said SSP Bulandshahr Prabhakar Chaudhary.

The police are on the lookout for accused Kalua, who allegedly attacked the officer first with an axe, causing him deep injury.

“The mob became violent after that,” said Mr. Chaudhary, adding that 4-5 persons were involved in the killing of the officer.

Johny, the accused who snatched the officer’s pistol, is under arrest.

The police said Natt was arrested on the basis of eyewitness accounts, videos of the incident and intelligence information gathered. His name was deliberately avoided in the FIR as part of a strategy to nab him, officers said.

Mr. Chaudhary said Natt had been the main suspect from day one and his family fled from Bulandshahr soon after the incident.

The officer also said that Singh shot at the mob in self-defence before being overpowered.

SP Bulandshahr (City) Atul Srivastava said Natt had “confessed to his involvement in the incident and shooting the bullet that killed” Singh.

Singh was shot dead during mob violence that erupted in the Syana area of Bulandshahr on December 3 after Hindutva groups alleged cow slaughter and brought the carcasses to the police outpost in a tractor trolley.

Singh was shot near his left eyebrow by a .32 bore weapon, the police had earlier said on the basis of the autopsy report.

Singh was the investigating officer of the Dadri lynching case of Akhlaq from September 28, 2015, to November 9, 2015.

Bajrang Dal activist Yogesh Raj, who was named as the main instigator in the mob violence as per the FIR, is still absconding; so is BJP Yuva Morcha Bulandshahr city president Shikhar Agarwal.

Gadag, May 9: It is the month of April, and the season of mangoes is very much here. However, the mango farmers of Gadag are suffering huge losses amid the coronavirus lockdown due to the absence of transportation facilities along with several other issues that have been impacting their business adversely.

Speaking to media persons, Vishwanath Odugowdar, a mango farmer said, "Due to transportation problems we are not being able to export mangoes to different countries. We are trying to sell them in nearby markets."

"We are not in a situation to pack, transport and export the mangoes to different countries as we did earlier especially 
when it comes to Alphonso mangoes which is one of the most loved varieties. So, we are packing mangoes at our place. Somehow this year we have got very good quality of mangoes," he added.

Farmers here are incurring huge losses as mandis and markets across the country are shut while the transport of Alphonso mangoes has also come to a halt owing to the lockdown.

The small and medium scale farmers in places like Gadag, Dharwad, Bagalkote in north Karnataka have started packing the mangoes themselves in their farms in a bid to sell the fruit themselves.

Gadag, Aug 1: A woman in Gadag district of Karnataka mortgaged her 'mangalsutra' to buy a television set for her children following the Karnataka government's decision to continue the classes through TV amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

A resident of Radder Naganur village, Kasturi, who is also a mother of two, purchased a television set against her 'mangalsutra' for Rs 14,000. She bought the TV after her children's school teachers asked them to attend classes via the television set.

Kasturi said, "I can not send the children to the neighbours' house every day and it was necessary for them to study. We had no other option but to buy a TV set."

She said, "Both, my husband and I are daily wage workers and during coronavirus, we do not have work or money."

"I sold my 'mangalsutra' for Rs 20,000 and bought a TV for Rs 14,000," said Kasturi while happily adding, "Now, my kids can study at home itself."

Kasturi's daughter, Surekha said, "We did not have the TV for several months but now when we have it, we will study and get a bigger 'mangalsutra' for my mother."

Bengaluru, May 8: Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa said his government is clear in its stand on extending every possible help to the farmers. The Chief Minister spoke to the farmer-leaders of the state, who wanted their concerns to be heard and addressed, with regard to the problems the agrarian community has been facing in the wake of the COVID-19 lockdown.

"We will soon make our position clear on supporting the farmers. We will not allow any hindrance to come in the way of agriculture activities," Yediyurappa told the farmer- leaders.

The Chief Minister told the delegation that the pre-monsoon activities are in full swing in the state.

The government has also set up help centres and been providing agriculture equipment on rent, the Chief Minister said. In most of the places, at least 80 per cent of the standing crops have been harvested.

Arrangements have been made to bring equipment from neighbouring states to harvest the standing crop, he said.

Yediyurappa said fertilisers and seeds are available in abundance in the state.

He informed the farmer-leaders about the arrangements made to transport flowers, vegetables and fruits to other states.

Similarly, the market has been developed for the farmers to sell their products, said the Chief Minister.

He said the government is working out a compensation for farmers who lost their crops due to hailstorm in Raichur, Koppal and Ballari. Agriculture Minister B C Patil, Horticulture Minister Narayana Gowda, Revenue Minister R Ashoka, Chief Secretary T M Vijay Bhaskar and Development Commissioner Vandita Sharma were also present in the meeting.
