Mining mafia NOT behind IPS officer's death: CBI
June 06, 2012

Young IPS officer, Narendra Kumar, who was brutally crushed to death under a stone-laden tractor trolley belonging to the illegal mining mafia, was not murdered, says the CBI. The CBI which filed a chargesheet in the incident says the accused driver Manoj Gujjar is not linked to the stone mining mafia. Gujjar was taking stones for personal use.

The CBI said it was a case of culpable homicide not amounting to murder. "Gujjar, the driver of the vehicle had nothing to do with any kind of mining mafia. He was taking the stones for his own personal use," the CBI chargesheet says. Sub-divisional police officer Narendra Kumar was killed when he was trying to stop the tractor loaded with mined stones.
