Insensitivity of Noida Police was witnessed on Monday when a property dealer’s homicide was tweaked as accident without identifying the dead. Police also sent the body for a post-mortem exam in haste. It was only after family members pencilled their protest that police registered a case of murder and started investigation.
The incident was reported when the body of a property dealer, Dhirendra Kalia (32), was found in a pool of blood near Delta-III of Surajpur. Instead of identifying the dead, the police body bagged him. He was sent for post-mortem exam in Noida’s Sector 93.
During autopsy, Kalia’s phone reportedly rang. The call was received by the coroner. The caller identified the deceased as Dhirendra, a resident of Shakipur village of Greater Noida.
“Despite severe injury marks, it is shocking how Kalia’s death is being passed off as accident,” rued a family member.
Irate family members along with locals assembled at Surajpur police station demanding investigation and arrest of the accused. Brajesh Kumar Singh, Superintendent of Police (Rural) of Greater Noida, said a case of murder has been registered under appropriate Sections of IPC.b
