While Yash Jaluka, the sub-divisional magistrate of Naraingarh, was patrolling the area on Sunday to look for any illegal mining activity, a suspicious SUV allegedly targeted him. The SUV pursued Yash Jaluka’s automobile, which attempted to hit it twice at high speed. However, according to sources quoted by news agency PTI, the official managed to evade the accident.
The people inside the SUV, who are thought to have connections to the underground mining industry, are thought to have left the area. According to police, an FIR was filed on Saturday regarding the incident, which happened around one morning on March 27 and 28.
Two such raids and inspections were recently conducted to verify illicit mining in the Naraingarh area’s rivers.
According to PTI, Naraingarh Police filed a case on April 6 against the owner and driver of the SUV under several IPC provisions, including an attempt to kill and obstruction of government work, in response to the security guard’s allegation against the SDM.
Yash Jaluka, a 29-year-old IAS officer from the 2021 batch, is presently assigned to the Ambala district as SDM Naraingarh.
The FIR:
SDM An SUV began pursuing Yash Jaluka, his security guard, and three other people, including the driver, as they were patrolling in their private vehicle. The PSO of the SDM, Jaluka, and the local tehsildar, Abhishek Pilania, left their Naraingarh residence at one in the morning on March 28 in a private vehicle to investigate illicit mining in the region, according to the FIR, which was based on a complaint filed by policeman Jasbir Singh.
The SUV’s occupants attempted to purposefully hit their automobile at a high speed when the SDM attempted to stop it close to the bridge in the village of Toka Sahib Gurudwara. They then ran away from the scene.
“An Innova began trailing after the car. The driver of the Innova attempted to collide with the SDM’s car as they attempted to flag it down. The police then pursued the Innova car. The Indian Express quoted Jasbir Singh, who was with the officer, stating, “When its driver was called, he tried to hit the SDM’s vehicle again.”
A dumper truck allegedly ran over Surender Singh, a deputy superintendent of police rank officer, during an operation against illegal stone mining in Nuh district almost two years ago.
In the Bapoli neighbourhood of Panipat, a group of police officers were allegedly attacked by several suspected mining mafia members a little over a year ago.
