The family of slain Delhi police inspector Mohan Chander Sharma today expressed anguish and hurt at the remarks of Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh in which he called the encounter fake. The family also refused to accept a cheque given by him.
Sharma was killed in an encounter with terrorists on September 19 in the Jamia Nagar area of South Delhi.
The family and friends of Sharma today held a demonstration outside the official residence of Amar Singh on Lodhi road. About hundreds of protestors, who had gathered there, demanded an apology for his remarks and shouted slogan against Singh calling him âfriend of terroristsâ.
<b>The Samajwadi Party leader had announced a compensation of Rs 10 lakh for the family of the deceased inspector soon after his death and in fact had given a cheque of Rs 1 lakh to Sharmaâs widow. However, after Amar Singhâs remark yesterday, the family has decided to return the cheque, which they had not yet encashed.</b>
âWe are deeply hurt by his remarks on the encounter. If he thinks it was fake, then why did he announce help of Rs 1 million for us after my son died in the shootout,â Narottam Sharma, father of the slain cop, said at his Dwarka house in South West Delhi. âMy son was very much with the special cell and was not transferred to any other department of the Delhi police as claimed by Amar Singh. One should refrain from doing politics over the issue,â Narottam Sharma said.
Amar Singh had raised doubts about the police version of the September 19 shootout on his visit to Jamia Nagar last Saturday and reiterated the same during a public meeting in Sharanpur (Uttar Pradesh) yesterday. âInspector Sharma had been transferred from the special cell of the Delhi police only few days before the so-called encounter. Why was he sent when his transfer was already decided?â Singh had said.
However, the Delhi police has rubbished the charges by Amar Singh. âInspector M.C. Sharma was very much a part of the special cell and was leading the operation against the terrorists in L-18, Jamia Nagar in his capacity as the inspector of the cell. He was an asset to the special cell and there were no such thing as he being transferred out of it,â clarified Rajan Bhagat, PRO, Delhi police.
