Renuka: Meerut IG’s reinstatement insensitive

Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI: Union Minister of State for Women and Child Development Renuka Chowdhury on Thursday said she would write to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati against the reinstatement of Gurdarshan Singh, who was removed as Inspector-General, Meerut zone, and shifted to the Railways, Allahabad.

He was transferred after his “insensitive” remarks in the Aarushi murder case in Noida raised a public outcry.

At a press conference after the May 23 arrest of Aarushi’s father Rajesh Talwar, the police officer said he murdered his daughter and domestic help Hemraj after he found them in an “objectionable” position in his house.

The Central Bureau of Investigation later pronounced Dr. Talwar innocent.

“It is shockingly insensitive that a man who had spoken in such a manner about a minor girl has been reinstated in his position,” Ms. Chowdhury told journalists on the sidelines of a function here.
