‘Police themselves not safe’: IPS officer’s mother found dead in UP, jewellery missing
Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav criticised the Uttar Pradesh government for the incident and said, “police themselves are not safe.”
In Ambedkar Nagar district of Uttar Pradesh, the 95-year-old mother of IPS officer Ashutosh Mishra was found dead in her home, with her gold jewellery missing. The domestic worker discovered the elderly woman, Indrawati, lying on a cot in her bedroom at around 9 am on Sunday.
Mishra, who is currently stationed in Lucknow, arrived at the village shortly after and lodged a complaint of murder and robbery against unknown individuals. It appears that thieves broke into the house during the night, killing Indrawati and taking her jewelry. No other household items were disturbed.
Police are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the woman's death and the disappearance of her jewelry. The actual cause of death will be determined following a post-mortem examination. Current Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, along with BSP chief Mayawati, expressed their condolences over the incident and criticized the state government for the safety of police officers in Uttar Pradesh.
