GORAKHPUR: As many as eight cops were killed and six other cops and a civilian were injured during a gun battle between the criminals and police in Kanpur. 52-year-old sub-inspector Sudhakar Pandey, a native of Gorakhpur, and 25-year-old constable Shivmurat Nishad, a native of Maharajganj are among the seven injured.
Sub-Inspector Sudhakar Pandey is native to Belpar Pathak village under Gola police station of Gorakhpur district.
His family members were distraught to hear the news, and were slightly relieved to know that Sudhakar’s condition is improving.
82-year-old father Ramnayan Pandey said, “On Friday morning, the information about my son reached Gola police station, and soon after, my entire village came to know about it. I’m constantly praying for his life. He was first posted as a constable in Bareilly in 1985-86, and was promoted after 5-6 years. He became a sub-inspector after the departmental exam, and has been posted at Chaubepur police station in Kanpur since the last 1.5 years.” Sudhakar’s 76-year-old mother Sharda Devi, said, “My other son Amarnath, grandson Praveen and his wife Pushpa have reached Kanpur and are there with Sudhakar. They informed that his condition is improving.”
Sudhakar Pandey’s son and daughter are married, and brother Amarnath lives with his parents, wife and children in Belpar Pathak village. Before the lockdown, Sudhakar had come to the village to meet his parents.
Constable Shivmurat Nishad, 25, is native to Barvas village in Paniyara area of Maharajganj district. He is unmarried and his mother Mayawati is in a state of shock after hearing about his condition. Father Bhajuram Nishad, along with his other son and few villagers, reached Kanpur to see Shivmurat. Shivmurat is the youngest among five brothers and he joined the police in 2018.
“He came home 25 days ago for four days. His elder brother Ramjatan got the news in the morning. He then reached Gorakhpur by his motorcycle, and from there, took a bus to Kanpur without telling us a word. Later, we ourselves got to know about Shivmurat. I just hope he recovers soon,” said mother Mayawati.
