Days before Bulandshahr violence, local BJP leaders sought inspector's transfer
Meerut (UP), Dec 7: Two days before Inspector Subodh Kumar Singh was killed during mob violence in Bulandshahr, local BJP leaders had demanded his transfer after accusing him of creating obstacles for religious functions.
In a letter sent to Bulandshahr MP Bhola Singh, they alleged that his behaviour caused resentment in the Hindu community.
The letter was forwarded by the MP to Bulandshahr SSP K B Singh demanding a probe against him.
On Friday, the SSP confirmed to PTI that he had received such a letter from Bhola Singh.
When asked what action was taken over it, he said probe orders were given.
The inspector and 20-year-old Sumit were killed when a mob attacked policemen over alleged cow slaughter on December 3.
IG Crime S K Bhagat said Friday that five more arrests have been made in connection with the inspector's death, taking the number of those arrested to nine.
The letter, which was surfaced on social media, was signed by BJP's Syana city chief Sanjay Shrotri, city vice president Kapil Tyagi, former corporator Manoj Tyagi, BB nagar mandal president Neeraj Chaudhary, BJP assembly convener Vijay Kumar Lodhi and Syana block pramuk Pushpendra Yadav.

Residents allege poor road condition in Murdeshwar area; warn of protest
Bhatkal: Residents have expressed anger over the poor condition of roads in and around the popular tourist destination of Murdeshwar, saying commuters are facing severe hardship.
According to locals, the road stretch from Bastimakki to Urban Bank in National Colony has remained in bad shape for several years. They said the situation has worsened over the last five months after gravel was spread on the road in the name of repair work and left unfinished.
People alleged that movement of vehicles on the loose gravel has become dangerous, and several persons have reportedly slipped and suffered injuries.
Residents said the issue has been brought to the notice of minister Mankal Vaidya on several occasions, but no clear action has been taken so far.
Locals also claimed that though many promises were made during the election period, it has now become difficult even to reach the minister.
They warned that if officials and the contractor fail to complete the road work immediately, they would be forced to launch a strong protest in the coming days.
