New Delhi: Days, after a police inspector was killed during the Bulandshahr violence, erupted over alleged cow slaughter, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath called the murder an ‘accident’, adding that whoever responsible for it will be punished. Adityanath also said that the cop’s killing was not an incident of ‘mob lynching’.
The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister’s statement came reportedly on Friday while he was speaking at an event in the national capital. His reaction came a day after he met the family members of the slain inspector. The chief minister met Singh’s wife and the two sons at his Kalidas Marg residence in Lucknow.
So far, nine people have been arrested in connection with the violence.
On Monday, Adityanath had declared a compensation of Rs 40 lakh for the wife, Rs 10 lakh for the parents and a government job for a family member of the inspector, who was the initial investigating officer in the 2015 Akhlaq lynching case.
