Chandigarh, July 19, 2022 (PPI-OT):A Haryana police officer of DSP rank was killed by a mining mafia raising serious questions over the law and order situation in the BJP-run northern state of India. DSP Surendra Singh died on the spot after being run over by a truck and his body was found in an open dumpster.

After receiving a tip-off, Surender Kumar Bishnoi had gone to conduct a raid at Taudu Hill near Nuh’s Pachgaon where alleged illicit mining was being done. An eyewitness said the DSP was standing near his official vehicle when he signalled the dumper driver, allegedly carrying illicit quarrying material, to stop. The dumper driver did not stop and crushed the cop under his truck.

The driver is on the run after killing the DSP and the police have launched a manhunt to nab the accused. Reacting to the incident, the Haryana Congress blamed the Manohar Lal Khattar-led BJP government, questioning law and order situation in the state. Haryana Congress tweeted, “ML Khattar, what did you turn our state into? Neither MLAs are safe here, nor the police. What will happen to the general public? It’s very sad news”.
