Haryana Assembly Speaker Gyanchand Gupta spoke on illegal mining mafia and said that illegal mining complaints have been coming in, but the government has taken action. “This mafia is a huge nexus. We will go to the end of this. We will expose everyone,” he said.
The police officials are currently present at the spot where the murder took place and are trying to ascertain the exact cause of the incident. Sources informed that DSP Surender Singh arrived at the spot where the illegal mining was happening in the Mewat area after receiving a tip. The trucks did not have the authority to move the mining stones from the area. When the DSP tried to stop it, the truck driver allegedly drove over the cop and killed him on the spot.
