CISF Head Constable Mohan Singh's Body Reaches His Village In Rajasthan

Chennai/Jaipur: A pall of gloom descended at the Jahangirpura village in Bharatpur district, Rajasthan since they got the information about one of their villagers – a CISF head constable Mohan Singh – was killed by his colleague at a shoot-out in Kalpakkam Atomic Power Plant barracks on Wednesday.

CISF officials arranged for air-lifting his body from Chennai to Rajasthan. The officials carried his corpse in a coffin by Indigo flight which was scheduled at 6am and then was rescheduled at 10am on Thursday. Mohan Singh’s body was taken to his village, where hundreds of villagers were waiting to receive the corpse outside the Dehara police Chowki since Thursday morning onwards.
At 8.30 pm when the body of Singh reached the village grief was witnessed everywhere from the Nadbai bus stand to Dehara police chowki. “His body will not be taken to home as per rituals bodies are not kept at home during nights. After the rituals the body will be consigned to flames on Friday morning,” said one of his relatives.

Mohan Singh, 55, was a native of Jahangirpura village under Nadbai police station in Bharatpur district of the state. One of his relatives Hukum Singh said, “I saw him during March-April when he had come to organise the marriage of his elder son Anoop Singh who is a farmer. This is the tragic incident.”
Most disturbing thing for the family was that Singh had promised to visit the family this Diwali with boxes of sweets and firecrackers. ““He was to visit the family on this Diwali but it is harsh to know that we have received his body before the festival,” said a relative who was more concerned that the younger son and youngest daughter of the deceased were yet to be married and settled in life on Thursday.

The relatives said the whole family comprising 2 sons, 1 daugther and wife Kamla Devi were informed about the tragedy on Wednesday afternoon. “They are in shock. Perhaps Kamla Devi fainted many a times and doctor was sent to the home,” said Singh.
A senior CISF official said they have granted Rs90,000 for air-lifting Mohan Singh’s body and given Rs55,000 each to Subburaj and Ganesan’s family for their transportation as well as the funeral ceremony. “It is very uncertain incident and an internal inquiry has been ordered to probe about the incident,” the officer said.
