Haryana Govt To Conduct Judicial Inquiry Into DSP Murder By Mine Mafia: Anil Vij
On Wednesday, the Nuh Police arrested the truck driver who had mowed down a Haryana DSP probing illegal mining.
New Delhi: After a deputy superintendent of police probing illegal stone-mining was killed on Tuesday when a truck he had signalled to stop in Haryana’s Nuh district drove into him, state Minister Anil Vij said on Thursday that government will launch a judicial inquiry over his death.
"Haryana Govt has decided to conduct a judicial inquiry into the death of a DSP by mine mafia in Mewar and all other circumstances of illegal mining in that area", said state minister Anil Vij.
On Wednesday, the Nuh Police arrested the truck driver who had mowed down a Haryana DSP probing illegal mining.
Sabbir, alias Mittar, the key accused in the case, was arrested from Rajasthan’s Bharatpur district.
He was arrested following the questioning of Ikkar, another accused in the case.
"We arrested the main accused, Sabbir, alias Mittar, from the Pahari police station area of Bharatpur in Rajasthan. The accused, who is around 30 years of age, hails from Pachgaon. He had fled to his relatives. We are trying to nab his other accomplices," said Nuh SP Varun Singla.
Anil Vij alleged that the mining mafia flourished under the previous Congress regime in the state led by Bhupinder Singh Hooda. He said the present BJP-led government in the state has launched a crackdown against the elements indulging in any illegal activity, including illegal mining.
Vij said unfortunately the DSP Surendra Singh lost his life in the line of duty.
At regular intervals, we keep carrying out raids and checkings and act against the elements who indulge in illegal mining, he said.
"Actually, this mafia flourished during Hooda's time. It flourished because of their weak policies. We are observing full strictness against such elements and our DSP lost his life in the line of duty," he said.
