New Delhi: The Congress on Saturday attacked the BJP government in Uttar Pradesh over the probe into killing of a policeman during mob violence in Bulandshahr, saying over 25 days have passed, but no concrete action has been taken, and demanded a judicial inquiry into the matter.
Mob violence broke out near Chingrawathi police post on December 3 after cattle carcasses were found strewn in a field near Mahaw village. Inspector Subodh Kumar Singh and 20-year-old Sumit Kumar were shot dead as the mob attacked police.
Hitting out at the state government, UP Congress chief Raj Babbar, at a press conference here, said: “Over 25 days have passed and the government is still dilly-dallying. Some times Ajay Kumar Bisht’s government seeks praise for itself, at other times it says it was a conspiracy.”
A “mobocracy” has prevailed in the country since the formation of the BJP government at the Centre, he alleged, Earlier someone else was accused, now someone else is the culprit. The people whose names are coming out (in the investigation) are those who are close to the BJP leaders there,” he claimed His remarks come a day after a court sent to 14-day judicial custody the man who allegedly shot dead Singh.
