March 09, 2012  15:36

In other news, a day after a young IPS officer was mowed down by a suspected member of the mining mafia in Madhya Pradesh, a senior police officer today said the murder does not appear "preplanned" at this stage. 

 

"Till now, we do not have any evidence to indicate that the killing of Narendra Kumar Singh was a planned act," Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG), Chambal Range, D P Gupta said. No mobile phone has been recovered from Manoj Gurjar, the driver of the tractor-trolley under which the 30-year-old IPS officer was crushed to death at Banmore in Morena district yesterday, he said.

 

Still, police are trying to trace the mobile phone, if any, on which Gurjar might have received instructions to kill the officer, Gupta said. 

 

The 2009-batch officer was posted at Banmore as Sub Divisional Officer of Police (SDOP) a month ago and had taken on the mining mafia by seizing number of trucks and tractors engaged in illegal quarrying.
