Noida: A day after the six men accused of shooting a police inspector during mob violence in Bulandshahr were granted bail on Sunday by a lower court, the deceased wife said that it is an insult to Subodh Singh.
The slain inspector's wife Rajni said while speaking to ETV Bharat, "The court granted the bail to the accused and they were welcomed with 'Jai Shree Ram' slogans. My husband died while serving his motherland, but now his killers are being garlanded on receiving bail. More strict action should have been taken against them. I am very saddened about their bail."
Rajni also alleged that the six accused are planning to file a case against the police. They are trying to frame her husband and several policemen for shooting a man named Sumit.
"The court should reject their bail as soon as possible," she added.
Earlier a video of the accused being welcomed in a grand manner went viral on social media and attracted severe criticism from netizens.
In the video, two of the alleged killers — Shikhar Agarwal and Jeetu Fauji — are seen being welcomed and garlanded by their supporters amid loud cheers. Several people also took turns to take selfies with them.
On December 3 last year, police inspector Subodh Kumar Singh was killed by a mob after cattle carcasses were allegedly found near Mahaw village in Bulandshahr. Bajrang Dal leader Yogesh Raj, the main accused, was arrested from Khurja a few days after he had gone into hiding.
The other men involved in the killing, including Shikhar Agarwal, who is associated with the youth wing of the BJP, and Jeetu Fauji were granted bail. Family members and supporters of the six men garlanded them outside the jail amid chants of ‘Jai Shri Ram’, ‘Bharat Mata Ki jai’ and ‘Vande Matram’ after being released on Sunday.
