‘I am with BJP, our govts in both states…if I can’t get justice, who then?’: Gurtaj Singh Bhullar | India News,The Indian Express
Even as the UP Police maintain that the woman was killed in cross-firing between their team and Jaffar, a man accused of illegal sand mining who they were chasing, Bhullar insists the police have concocted a story to justify the killing.
Even as the UP Police maintain that the woman was killed in cross-firing between their team and Jaffar, a man accused of illegal sand mining who they were chasing, Bhullar insists the police have concocted a story to justify the killing.
A day earlier, the Kumaon DIG, Nilesh Anand Bharne, had also said that the UP personnel did not inform local police and were not in uniform. And, a forensic department official who inspected the site had said they did not find evidence of cross-firing as suggested by UP Police.
Speaking to The Indian Express, Bhullar, BJP’s district block chief (pramukh) in Jaspur tehsil, recalled the series of events on Wednesday, when he had gone to Noida for a party meeting and returned around 4 pm.
“My wife had also returned from work in the evening. I was asleep when I heard that 10-12 men, claiming to be policemen from UP, had barged into our house for a raid in pursuit of one Jaffar, who they thought had taken shelter here,” he said.
Bhullar said the men had arrived in two cars – a Scorpio and a Sumo – and were armed.
