In a sensational incident, a circle officer (CO) was shot dead by a mob enraged by the murder of a gram pradhan and his brother in a Pratapgarh village on Saturday.


CO Zia-ul-haq, 32, incharge of Kunda police circle in Pratapgarh, along with other cops had gone to the village 
after the brothers, known to be close to UP cabinet minister Raghuraj Pratap Singh alias Raja Bhaiyya, were shot dead by unidentified assailants.

Additional director general (ADG), law and order, Arun Kumar confirmed the CO’s death. “The concerned inspector general and deputy inspector general have reached the spot of crime,” Kumar said, as he left for Pratapgarh.
The incident triggered tension in the area and Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC) personnel along with additional police forces from other districts were deployed to avert further trouble. The slain pradhan’s supporters are still camping in the area.
According to reports, pradhan of Balipur village Nanhe Lal Yadav, 38, and his brother Surendra, 40, were shot dead around 8.30pm in Hathigawan village while they were on a bike.
Enraged with the incident, supporters of Nanhe attacked the house of one Kamta Prasad Pal who had a land dispute with the slain pradhan.

Some cops were also injured.

Cop quits, may spell trouble for Modi govt


Cop quits, may spell trouble for Modi govt

Prashant Dayal TNN 


Ahmedabad: Arrested IPS officer Girish L Singhal is raring to become the next ‘Singham’ — a cop fighting against the establishment to which he belongs. 
    In a move that could spell trouble for the Narendra Modi government, Singhal on Friday resigned from the Indian Police Service to wage his own battle after being arrested by the CBI on February 21 in connection with the Ishrat Jahan encounter case . 
    Singhal’s bitterness is evident from his resignation letter addressed to the additional chief secretary (home) S K Nanda dated February 27. 
    “I herewith tender my resignation from the IPS. Presently I am holding a post of superintendent of police. I would like to share my pain and grief that I deeply feel that the department and government failed to protect me as a policeman from the victimization,” he wrote. 
    Singhal, lodged in Sabarmati jail along with four other cops charged in the case, told TOI, “I am resigning because even if I were to be acquitted, my conscience would not allow me to wear the police uniform again.” 
    The CBI was granted five-day remand of Singhal on Friday. 
    He now becomes potent ammunition in the hands of IGP Satish Verma, who is overseeing the 2004 Ishrat Jahan encounter case investigation. 
    Ishrat was one of the four people killed by Ahmedabad city crime branch, then headed by D G Vanzara, in what is seen as a staged encounter. The other three persons included two Pakistanis — Amjad Ali Rana and Zeeshan Johar — and Ishrat’s boyfriend Pranvesh Pillai alias Javed Sheikh. 
    Singhal, who was an income tax officer before joining the police, may spill the beans on the conspiracy behind the encounter and implicate his seniors, including politicians. 
    Out of the many fake encounters under the leadership of Vanzara, Singhal was involved only in the Ishrat case.
