No bail for jawan held for killing cop in Bulandshahr

Lucknow, December 10

The Bulandshahr chief judicial magistrate court today rejected the bail petition of jawan Jitendra Malik alias Jeetu Fauji accused in the December 3 killing of Siyana Station Officer Inspector Subodh Kumar Singh.

Attached to a unit of the Rashtriya Rifles and posted in J&K, Jitendra was arrested and brought to Bulandshahr on Sunday when he was remanded in 14-day custody.

His counsel Sanjay Sharma said a petition for his bail would be submitted before a special court tomorrow.

During the preliminary interrogation, Malik admitted that he was at the spot when the violence took place on December 3 but denied killing the cop. However, he has been changing his statement. He first denied being present in the district at the time of violence. When confronted with a video tape, he admitted being at the spot but pleaded not guilty. — TNS
