The father of Narendra Kumar Singh, the young IPS officer who was mowed down by an alleged member of the mining mafia, has demanded justice from the government. The government must ensure that we get justice, said the braveheart's father Keshav Dev.

The 30-year-old IPS officer was crushed under the wheels of a tractor trolley driven by an alleged member of the mining mafia in Morena on Thursday. The incident occurred at Banmore at around 1pm when Kumar, who was out on patrolling in his official jeep, saw the trolley loaded with stones. Kumar signalled the driver to stop but he did not pay heed. So, he followed the vehicle, cut in and stood in front of the vehicle after getting down from his jeep.

But the tractor driver, Manoj Gurjar, drove on and knocked down the officer who was crushed under the wheels. His last rites were performed in Mathura with full honours on Thursday morning. Keshav Dev has alleged that Narendra Kumar's murder was a well-planned conspiracy and the family did not receive any cooperation from the local authorities. "It is clear that this was a well-planned conspiracy. He did not receive cooperation of the local police. He stopped vehicles carrying stones for check. Is it the work of the IPS officer, or the work of a thana-level police?" said Keshav Dev.
