Bhupinder Singh, a popular face in the television industry, has been reportedly charged with murder after he shot dead a man and injured three others. The incident that came to light today occurred a few days ago. The actor argued with his neighbors at his farm in Uttar Pradesh’s Bijnor.
Bhupinder Singh was charged under Sections 302, 307, 323, 504 and 34
Bhupinder Singh was accompanied by three accomplices who were armed with lathes during the incident. The actor reportedly opened fire with his licensed weapon and killed a neighbor. His family was also seriously injured. The three accomplices (Gyan Singh, Jeevan Singh, and Gurjant Singh) have also been arrested.
The four accused have been booked under Sections 302 (murder), 307 (attempt to murder), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 504 (provocation), and 34 (criminal act by several persons) of the IPC. The process to cancel the actor’s licensed arm is also underway.
What happened on the day of the incident?
Bhupinder Singh owns a farmhouse in the village to which he recently returned. He owns more than 500 bighas of agricultural land in Konakheda, Bijnor. He had a row over cutting Eucalyptus trees with his neighbors. The trees are located along the boundaries of the two plots of land. Neighbor Gurdeep Singh and his family protested against the cutting of the three or four eucalyptus trees that the actor wanted to cut to fence his farm.
Bhupinder had reportedly cut down some trees earlier, and neighbors also complained during that period. The victim's family filed a complaint with the Badhapu police station, but no action was taken. Meera Bai complained about the matter to the DIG (Deputy Inspector General), who took necessary actions.
On the day of the incident, which took place three or four days ago, Bhupinder fired shots from his gun killing 23-year-old Govind Singh. His family members, father Gurdeep Singh, mother Mira Bai, and elder brother Amrik Singh, were seriously injured. His sister escaped and hid in the fields.
The family members are currently receiving treatment at the district hospital under police supervision. The condition of Gurdeep Singh and Amrik Singh is critical. The police spoke to Mira Bai about the incident.
The last rites of the deceased were performed at Ramganga Ghat. Due to the absence of his relatives, his funeral pyre was lit by his sister Sukhwinder Kaur.
Action against the police
Bijnor Superintendent of Police, Neeraj Kumar Jadon, said he had issued a " task order" a few days ago to resolve the issue amicably, but the local police did not take the matter seriously.
“The dispute should not have escalated,” he said. “The local police had a duty to facilitate the talks, but they were negligent.” After the investigation, the SP had Badhapur police station in-charge Sumit Rathi, Inspector Yaseen, and Constable Krishna Kumar suspended from duty by the Superintendent of Police for their negligence.
Deputy Inspector General Moradabad Muniraj reached the spot late in the evening as soon as he received the information. He told the media that the investigation of the case is going on.
