The sister of a police inspector Subodh Kumar Singh who lost his life in Bulandshahr violence has slammed Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and said that they don't need any money.

A police inspector, who had probed the Akhlaq lynching case initially, and a 20-year-old local man died of gunshot injuries on Monday as a rampaging mob protesting alleged illegal cow slaughter torched a police post and clashed with cops.

 

"My brother was investigating Akhlaq case and that is why he was killed, its a conspiracy by Police," said Subodh Singh's sister.

She also said that her brother should be declared martyr and memorial should be built. "We do not want money," she added.

Inspector Subodh Kumar Singh, who was posted at Siana Police Station, suffered a gunshot injury in addition to wounds from hard and blunt objects.

 

Meanwhile, four persons were arrested after police lodged an FIR against over two dozen people for rioting and murder in connection with the violence here, officials said.

As many as 27 people have been named in the FIR, registered around 3 am, while cases have been lodged against 50 to 60 unidentified people.

Expressing grief over the incident, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, who is in Rajasthan for the election campaign, said strict action will be taken against the guilty after the probe reports are received.

In Lucknow, the Uttar Pradesh government announced a total of Rs 50-lakh assistance to the kin of Inspector Singh. The government said Rs 40 lakh would be given to his wife and Rs 10 lakh to his parents.

Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Bulandshahr, Krishna B Singh said police were probing the matter and raids were being conducted to arrest the other accused.
