Holi is the festival of colours. On this festival, which is a symbol of good over evil and spreads love by forgetting all grudges, some people are seen creating ruckus. These hooligans, intoxicated with alcohol, do not miss a chance to spoil the happiness of the festival. In Bareilly, the Deputy SP had left home to control these hooligans. But little did he know that the miscreants whom he had set out to stop in the city would burn down his house in pursuit of him.
The Deputy SP of Bareilly was taking stock of the law and order situation in the area. During this time, miscreants set his house on fire. In this incident of arson, the Deputy SP’s official vehicle, official documents and magazines of his personal pistol, cartridges and a large number of household goods worth lakhs of rupees were burnt to ashes. This extremely shocking incident of arson took place in the old district jail premises. At present, no officer from Intelligence to Police department is ready to open his mouth on what is the real reason behind setting on fire the bungalow of an officer like Deputy SP in an area considered to be extremely safe?
The area is considered extremely safe
This shocking case of burning down the official bungalow of Deputy SP by pouring petrol is of the old district jail premises in Thana Kotwali area. This area is considered to be very special and safe in terms of security. The official bungalow of Deputy SP Yashpal Singh of Intelligence Department of Bareilly division is also located here. Bareilly district is considered to be very sensitive in view of Holi, so Deputy SP Intelligence Yashpal Singh had gone out to check the law and order situation in the area. But during this time some goons burnt down his official bungalow by pouring petrol.
The entire house was reduced to ashes
Deputy SP Intelligence Yashpal Singh himself is claiming that the bungalow was burnt down by pouring petrol. If Yashpal Singh is to be believed, there is no reason for a short circuit to cause a fire in his residence. Surely, mischievous elements are behind this who set it on fire by pouring petrol. The government bungalow was set on fire to such an extent that all the belongings of the Deputy SP and the government vehicle were burnt to ashes. Only the clothes worn by the Deputy SP survived.
The fire brigade arrived after a long time
The police and fire brigade team reached the spot several hours after the fire was reported but by then all the belongings of police officer Yashpal Singh’s bungalow had been burnt to ashes. At present, Deputy SP Yashpal Singh himself is raising questions on the police and law and order of the district. Also, the big question is whether police officers are not safe in Bareilly district now?
