  • The Uttar Pradesh Government has decided to appoint Archana Dwivedi, wife of slain Mathura SP (City) Mukul Dwivedi as an OSD in the police department.
  • The wife of the slain Farah SO Santosh Yadav, as per her educational qualification, is going to be appointed asa clerk in the police department.
  • Thousands of trees were destroyed, many charred, in the last week’s bloody violence at Jawahar Bagh in Mathura
  • The Uttar Pradesh Horticulture Department said the number of trees destroyed could be more than 5,000
  • Environmentalists in Mathura have demanded action against the culprits responsible for the loss of green cover

 

The family members of Superintendent Police (city) Mukul Dwivedi, who was killed in the Mathura violence last week, have  demanded trial of the district magistrate and the district police chief for his “murder” and for allegedly “mishandling” the whole situation.

Prafulla Dwivedi, younger brother of Mukul Dwivedi, said that the Uttar Pradesh government should order a CBI probe into the incident and the circumstances leading to the violence.

If no action is taken against the then District Magistrate Rajesh Kumar and Senior Superintendent of Police Prakash Singh, Prafulla said, parents of Mukul, his widow and two children will stage a sit-in at Jawahar Bagh in Mathura where the SP was killed.

The Dwivedis have started a campaign for more stringent action against Rakesh Singh and the district magistrate who, they allege left the police force to go unprepared to Jawahar Bagh on June 2.

The Uttar Pradesh government has already transferred both of the officials and has ordered a judicial probe into the incident. However, anger continues to simmer against the then SSP Rakesh Singh, whom many in the force in Mathura blame for the tragedy.
