ADG submits report to DGP, points out right-wing role

Friday, 07 December 2018 | PNS | Lucknow

Even as another member of a Hindu outfit uploaded a video clip to claim his innocence and frame-up by the police in Monday’s Bulandshahr violence, ADG (Intelligence) submitted his report at the DGP headquarters, ostensibly pointing towards the involvement of right-wing activists in the violence.

On Thursday, Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha leader Shikhar Agarwal, already named by the police as an accused, uploaded a video on social media, claiming that he was innocent and framed by the police in the Bulandshahr flare-up. A day earlier, prime accused and Bajrang Dal functionary Yogesh Raj had taken the same route to accuse the police.

Agarwal is heard in the video saying that it was the fault of Inspector Subodh Kumar Singh that things went out of hand. He also alleges that the inspector threatened to kill him and his aides. Agarwal says in the video that he later told an ADG-rank officer about the ‘threat’.

Inspector Singh has also been accused by Agarwal of being “corrupt” and “siding with Muslims” to facilitate cow slaughter.

Meanwhile, sources said that the Intelligence report does not specifically name any outfit for the flare-up. Interestingly, UP Police and Home department brass did not confirm whether the report was submitted by Thursday evening.

Sources claimed that ADG (Intelligence) SB Shirodkar, in his report, has pointed towards the organisation involved in the violence and has reportedly termed the flare-up as a well-orchestrated “conspiracy” to vitiate the atmosphere.

The sources said that the report also mentions about half-a-dozen persons sitting about 500 metres away from the spot where the violence took place, with their faces covered by cloth. The Special Investigation Team (SIT) is trying to find out their identities.

Though no Government official was ready to go on record about the findings, sources claim that the report throws light on those behind the cow slaughter and gives in detail how violence took place in Syana police station area of Bulandshahr last Monday.
