![]() Lapses were found in eight cases being investigated by SI Inderjit Singh, following which he was suspended, the SSP said. Observing that “it is apparent that in the present case, only poor persons - drivers of JCB and tipper - have been arrayed as accused”, Justice Shekhawat had directed the Ropar SSP to file a detailed report indicating the reasons why persons carrying out illegal mining operations had not been arrayed as accused in the case.Īccording to information, SSP Soni asked SHOs from Anandpur Sahib, Nangal and Nurpur Bedi areas to present all such cases before him. The judge had observed that the police were trying their best to shield the real culprits, “at whose instance illegal mining operations were being carried out”. While hearing a petition filed by a tipper driver for the grant of pre-arrest bail on September 4, Justice NS Shekhawat had rapped the police for the “sorry state of affairs”. Soni said the investigation conducted by the SI in eight cases of illegal mining was found to be insufficient and full of lapses. Following an observation by the Punjab and Haryana High Court that police personnel were hand in glove with persons carrying out illegal mining in Ropar, area SSP Vivek Sheel Soni today suspended Naya Nangal police post in-charge SI Inderjit Singh.
