Gurugram, July 19
Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar declared Tauru DSP Surender Singh as martyr. Singh was killed in Tauru after being run over by a dumper while on a raid on a mining site in Aravalis today.
"We are with the family in this hour of grief. This is a loss to the entire force and we won't let the sacrifice go in vain. Nobody will be spared and we will take quick and strict action," said Khattar.
DSP तावडू (नूंह) सुरेंद्र सिंह जी की हत्या के मामले में कड़ी से कड़ी कार्रवाई करने के आदेश दे दिए गए हैं, एक भी दोषी को बख्शा नहीं जाएगा।

शोकाकुल परिजनों के साथ मेरी गहरी संवेदनाएं हैं।
ईश्वर दिवंगत आत्मा को अपने श्रीचरणों में स्थान दें।
Khattar announced a compensation of Rs 1 crore to the family along with government job for a member of family.
डीएसपी श्री सुरेंद्र सिंह को शहीद का दर्जा दिया जाएगा तथा उनके परिजनों को Rs 1 करोड़ की आर्थिक सहायता और परिवार के एक सदस्य को सरकारी नौकरी दी जाएगी।

Haryana's Home Minister Anil Vij said he has directed the police to take strict action and arrest all the culprits responsible for the ghastly act.
Haryana police said the officer laid down his life in the course of duty and no effort shall be spared in bringing the culprits to justice.
However, main opposition Congress targeted the Khattar government over the incident.

हमारी मांग है -
▪️नूंह में DSP की हत्या की हाई कोर्ट के मुख्य न्यायाधीश या न्यायधीश के द्वारा न्यायिक जांच हो। 30 दिन में माफिया-सफ़ेदपोशों की मिलीभगत बेनक़ाब हो।
▪️केवल छुटभैया कारिंदे नहीं, असली खनन माफिया की गिरफ्तारी हो!
▪️DSP के परिवार को 5 करोड़ का मुआवज़ा व नौकरी मिले। https://t.co/QmvfNd3ULM
Senior Congress leader Randeep Singh Surjewala demanded a judicial inquiry into the incident. He alleged that mining mafia was getting patronage from the government. "Does the chief minister not know that the mining mafia is flourishing from Yamunanagar to Nuh and Mewat? Why is the government acting like a mute spectator?" he asked.
A murder case should be registered and all culprits should be arrested, said Surjewala.
Leader of Opposition in Haryana Assembly, Bhupinder Singh Hooda alleged that law and order has collapsed in the northern state.
"We have been repeatedly saying that common people are feeling unsafe, and recently, many MLAs have also received threats. It appears that the government is non-existent and there is no rule of law," Hooda, the former chief minister, said. (With Agency Inputs)
