A terminated police inspector was allegedly fed some poisonous substance by two men in his residence on Wednesday morning. The accused even opened fire on his mother when she tried to intervene.  Amitav Singh (42), who was an S-I in 2000, was promoted to the rank of inspector later. But his services were terminated in 2014 following allegations against him.

Ratibad SHO Aditi Bhawsar said Amitabh was separated from his wife and now lives with his mother, Shalini Singh in Pooja Colony where the incident took place. She said Amitabh had some issues with his wife and there were allegations leveled against him by his wife as well.

The SHO said the victim was in his room when the two accused barged into his house and fed something at gun-point. When he realised that some unwanted thing was fed, he spitted it out and started shouting. Hearing his shrieks, his mother reached the scene and seeing her, the accused tried to flee from the area. However, when she waylaid them, they opened fire and a bullet even hit her leg.

They then reached Ratibad police station and filed a complaint.  Akhil Patel, ASP, said the victim was separated from his wife and he leveled allegations that his wife had sent the two accused to harm them. DIG Bhopal Irshaad Wali said the police investigating the matter and if required, his wife would also be quizzed.
