Bhopal: Slain DSP Narendra Kumar Singh’s wife Madhurani Teotia has said her husband got no help from his department while taking on the illegal mining mafia in Morena district. “Narendra told me several times that there was lot of pressure in his work environment and he was fighting a one-man war against illegal mining in Banmour,” Teotia told TOI on the phone from Aligarh on Sunday, where she is on maternity leave and is expecting her child this month. An additional collector in Gwalior, Teotia said her husband had arrested a number of tractor-trolley drivers carrying illegally mined stones. “He would first ‘challan’ the accused and then instruct the concerned police station to register a case against them of illegal mining. But even before the suspects reached the police station, their lawyers procured bail,’’ said Teotia. Teotia claimed her husband had said that the lower rungs of the police department would not follow his orders of arresting those involved in illegal mining. She now says she will continue her husband’s fight against the mafia. After the birth of her child, she will return to work in Gwalior. Kumar’s father Keshav Dev, however, wants his daughter-in-law transferred, saying, “This is a fight against the system and the government. My daughter-inlaw has to be transferred.’’ Madhya Pradesh home minister Uma Shankar Gupta and DGP Nandan Dubey had claimed on Friday that the mining mafia was not involved in Kumar’s death, and that it was an “unfortunate’’ accident. The police department hinted that the young officer was over-enthusiastic and died in a mishap. Teotia dismissed these explanations angrily. “People in responsible positions should not make such statements. I have lived and worked in Gwalior, Bhind, Morena, and Datia. Such accidents don’t happen there,” Teotia said, adding, “This was definitely not an accident; it was murder. My husband gave his life in uniform. If people in high positions can’t appreciate an officer, they should at least remain silent.’’ She said she hasn’t been officially informed about the judicial inquiry ordered by CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan. “I came to know about the judicial inquiry through other channels. Nothing was conveyed to me. I will wait for its findings,” she said. Team Anna to protest killing T eam Anna will launch a three-day fast in Bhopal from Tuesday to protest against the death of IPS officer Narendra Kumar and demanding a strong law to protect whistleblowers. The activists also asked MP CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan to immediately pass the Lokayukta bill in the state like the one enacted in Uttarakhand. “Indians won't be mute spectators to this political tamasha. Team Anna and thousands of Indians will organize a 3-day fast and protest in Bhopal to pay tribute to Kumar and demand a stronger law for whistleblowers,” a statement said. Targeting lawmakers, Arvind Kejriwal said he was waiting to see for how long MPs discussed the killing of the IPS officer allegedly by the mining mafia in Parliament which “mourned” the slapping of Union minister Sharad Pawar for two hours.
