MP BJP leader held for illegal mining
Cracking the whip on mining mafia, the police on Sunday arrested a person for firing at cops probing illegal sand mining, even as a Morena BJP leader was held for allegedly assaulting officers and forcibly taking away two tractor-trolleys engaged in stone quarrying. The arrests were made barely three days after a young IPS officer Narendra Kumar Singh was killed allegedly by the mining mafia in Morena district. Panna SP Anil Maheshwari said a person, Kubar Singh, was arrested in connection with a case of firing on a police team, which had gone to Ajaygarh to probe illegal mining in the area by sand mafia. “The police has also removed the temporary bridge over River Ken erected by the mafia for transporting sand to neighbouring Uttar Pradesh,” he said.

Congress politicising IPS death, says MP CM
AGE CORRESPONDENT
BHOPAL, March 11
Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Sunday targeted the main Opposition Congress saying that it is playing “dirty politics” on the death of young IPS officer Narendra Kumar, who died under tragic circumstances at Banmore in Morena district on March 8.
Talking to a section of the media here, Mr Chouhan said there is no reason for the slain IPS officer’s widow Madhu Rani Teotia, who is an IAS officer, to even think in terms of changing her cadre. She is a brave officer and will continue to serve the nation by working from Madhya Pradesh, the chief minister said adding she is like my younger sister and we are all with her in this hour of grief.
