Dehradun, March 27

A delegation led by the Uttarakhand Pradesh Congress Committee chief Kishore Upadhyay met family members of forest inspector Pahalwan Singh, who was crushed to death by mining mafias in Ramnagar, Udham Singh Nagar, a few days ago. Congressmen expressed grief over his death. 

The delegation members visited the spot where he was crushed to death and demanded immediate action into the case.  

Earlier, Upadhyay wrote a letter to Chief Minister TS Rawat on March 24 demanding strict action against mining mafias. He said the government should order a probe into the brutal death of Pahalwan Singh. 

Upadhyay said the deceased was the only bread winner of his family and he was crushed to death under a tractor trolley by mining mafias on March 24. Upadhyay alleged that mining mafias were supported by political leaders, which was surely a matter of concern. 

He expressed concern that instead of taking action against corrupt government officials, the BJP-led state government had taken action against Forest Department officials. Upadhyay said the government should draft a policy to check corruption. He demanded a government job for Singh’s son Major Singh.
