Update on the murder of police inspector Subodh Kumar Singh. The postmortem report confirms gunshot injury by a .32 mm bore bullet on his head.


ADG Law & Order Anand Kumar, said, "Four people have been arrested. I don't know about the organizations yet, but the main accused in the violence is Yogesh Raj who has not been arrested till now.


"A bullet has been recovered from the body of Sumit, who died in the Bulandshahr violence yesterday. The final post-mortem report will ascertain the bore of the bullet.


"It would be premature to say it was an intelligence failure or  failure of any other agency. No action will be taken against any policeman till probe is complete."


Four persons were arrested Tuesday after police lodged an FIR against over two dozen people for rioting and murder in connection with the violence here, officials said.  As many as 27 people have been named in the FIR, registered around 3 am, while cases have been lodged against 50 to 60 unidentified people, they said.


A police inspector, who had probed the Akhlaq lynching case initially, and a 20-year-old local man died of gunshot injuries on Monday as a rampaging mob protesting alleged illegal cow slaughter torched a police post here and clashed with cops, according to police.
