UP police kill soldier in fake encounter
Monday, 3rd May 2010
Yet another 'encounter' appears to have gone horribly wrong. A day after the Uttar Pradesh police killed an alleged car-lifter in an encounter in Bulandshahr, it now turns out that the "robber" was an armyman.
The 'encounter killing' of the armyman, identified by UP cops as Kuldeep Singh of 12 Rajputana Rifles and a native of Aligarh, has put the UP cops in the dock. Uttar Pradesh records the maximum number of complaints in the country for human rights violations.
However, additional director general (ADG), crime, Brij Lal, on Sunday refuted claims of the victim's family that the encounter was a fake. "There is absolutely no doubt about his involvement in the crime," he said.
