Resident Welfare Association raises Rs 1.4 lakh for dead cop in Delhi


NEW DELHI: Head constable Sanjeev Malik, who was killed in Meerut in an alleged road rage incident on Tuesday, is fondly remembered by residents of Malviya Nagar where he served as beat constable in a previous stint. In a heartwarming gesture, the colony's RWA has stepped in to raise money for Malik's family - his wife and two children aged six and two.

Sanjeev Rao, president of the East Malviya Nagar RWA said he read about the constable's death in TOI on Wednesday and immediately sent out an SMS asking residents to contribute money. By late evening, the RWA collected Rs 1.38 lakh. With money still pouring in, it is confident of collecting over Rs 1.5 lakh by Thursday.

Malik, 36, was declared one of the best beat officers in February 2011, when he was posted in Malviya Nagar. Residents remember as an honest and efficient cop. "He was an upright man, helpful and pleasant," said Rao.

"If a small association of 150 residents can collect so much money in such little time, I am sure if more people contribute, a larger amount can be collected. This is a small gesture to help a good man's family in this hour of need," he said.

The south Delhi cops too hail Malik as an officer who knew his job well. A specialist in collecting information about western UP-based criminals, he earned praise when he joined the anti-auto theft wing of the south district. He was also known to cultivate sources across NCR and was a good analyser of mobile calls.

A day after the south Delhi special staff cop died in a case of apparent road rage, questions are being raised over the Delhi Police's version of events. The Meerut police, meanwhile, claimed that Malik may have been killed elsewhere as no blood drops were found at the incident spot. They added that just one .9mm cartridge shell was recovered from the site.

Delhi Police denied the claim, saying at least six rounds were fired at the cops by the miscreants. After a postmortem, Malik's body was handed over to his family, which took it to his native village of Sarang in Saharanpur.

According to sources, the Meerut Police is trying to find out whether the presence of an informer - one Pankaj from Ghaziabad - in the car along with the three Delhi Police cops had something to do with Malik's death.

"Since the miscreants were in their Santro car, travelling in opposite direction to the WagonR of the Delhi cops, it is likely that Pankaj was identified. The attack could have been a ploy to draw out the Delhi cops and then shoot at them, staging the entire incident as road rage. They had gone to get a wanted car-lifter from Muzzafarnagar. When they checked the mobile location of the accused, it showed he was at Khurja. The possibility that his gang members are involved cannot be ruled out,'' said an officer accompanying SSP (Meerut) S Satyanarayan.
