BULANDSHAHR: A police inspector was shot at, hit on the head with a blunt object in the violence that started with the discovery of carcasses of at least 25 cows in a village in Uttar Pradesh's Bulandshahr. A cellphone video from the spot shows Inspector Subodh Kumar Singh's body falling off his police vehicle. His post-mortem report has confirmed a gunshot wound in addition to a head injury.
The cop was among the two persons who fell prey to the mob's fury besides a policeman who was seriously injured in the attack. An FIR has been registered against 300 people but there have been no arrests yet.
Inspector Singh's driver Ram Asre said it was the second time in the day the mob had attacked them. When Mr Asre was tried to take the injured officer to the hospital after the first attack, the mob blocked their way. "I ran for my life. I am not sure what the mob did when they reached the jeep," he said. The police said Mr Singh's revolver was also taken away by the attackers.
