Bulandshahr mob violence: Was Inspector Subodh Kumar Singh's murder pre-planned?

Slain police inspector Subodh Kumar's sister alleged a conspiracy behind the killing of her brother during Bulandshahr violence.

"My brother has been killed because he was investigating the Akhlaq murder case. This is a conspiracy," Saroj Singh Chauhan told news agency ANI.

"Why was my brother alone in his vehicle? Police are complacent in its role in the incident," Saroj charged. The police vehicle in which Subodh Kumar was killed was charred in the incident.

In Dadri area of Uttar Pradesh, over suspicion of cow slaughter, Akhlaq was lynched by a mob in September 2015.

The slain cop's wife said justice would be done only when his killers are killed.

"He worked with complete honesty and took all the responsibility on himself. This is not the first incident. He suffered bullet injury twice before. But now nobody is giving him justice. Justice will be done only if his killers are killed," the wailing wife said.

Meanwhile, reports have also emerged that Singh was shot by his own revolver. However, there is no official confirmation regarding this so far.
