The family of Delhi Police Inspector Mohan
Chand Sharma, who was killed in the Jamia Nagar encounter in New Delhi, on
Monday reacted sharply to Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh's raising questions
over his death and said they will not accept the money he had announced to
give.
The Inspector's father Narottam Sharma said
he was "sad" at the comments made by Singh that he had been shifted
out of Special Cell before the encounter on September 19. "He is talking
rubbish," the senior Sharma said when asked about Singh's claims.
"My son was not transfered from Special
Cell. Who told him? How can a leader like him can say such things?",
he said. Singh has raised questions over the genuineness of the encounter
in which Sharma and two suspected Indian Mujahideen terrorists were killed.
The Samajwadi Party leader even went to the
extent of suspecting that the Inspector could have been killed by policemen
themselves.
Delhi Police spokesperson Rajan Bhagat also
said Sharma was not transfered from the Special Cell, the elite anti-terror
wing of Delhi Police. On the announcement by Singh that he would give Rs ten
lakh to Sharma's family, the Inspector's father said they will not accept
it.
Meanwhile, a group of people protested outside
Singh's Lodhi Estate residence here and shouted slogans against the Samajwadi
Party leader for his comments on Sharma.
