In an extremely shocking incident, a senior official of Haryana police was killed by the mining mafia in the state's Nuh district - some 50 kilometres away from the national capital. The broad daylight killing of such a highly positioned police officer left the state administration, media and the police department shocked.

However, it's very important to be concerned about the exploitation of natural resources in the country.

In today's DNA, Zee News' Rohit Ranjan makes an analysis of illegal mining activities and related crimes across the country that often go unnoticed.

The incident that took place today was utterly shocking. Nuh district's Deputy Superintendent of Police, Surendra Singh, had arrived at the location after a tip-off. As the cop tried to stop the illegal mining, the audacious criminals mowed him down with their dumper.

DSP Surender Singh, during patrolling in the area, had got inputs about illegal mining in the hills towards Panchgaon.

Acting swiftly, he, along with his team, reached the spot. On seeing the police party, a dumper driver tried to drive away towards a hilly patch while unloading his vehicle which caused the DSP`s vehicle to halt.

The driver did not pay heed to Surender Singh`s signal to halt but instead ran him over. The incident has left the administration shocked.
