BULANDSHAHR – In the follow up of investigations into the killing of an Indian policeman amid mob violence, a soldier has emerged as a key suspect in the case.

Two police teams have been sent to Jammu and Kashmir to track down Jeetu Fauji, who is seen in various videos of the mob violence in Bulandshahr.

Three persons have been arrested in connection with the case regarding alleged cow slaughter which transpired into a murder case.

As per the details by Indian media, Inspector Subodh Kumar Singh and his team had gone to the village to tackle the violence when they came under attack.
