Gurugram: Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Surendra Singh Bishnoi was on Tuesday crushed to death by a dumper while investigating illegal mining in the hills of Panchgaon in Gurugram district, police sources said.

"Four of our personnel were there. We have a list of suspects, teams are out o nab them," he said.

Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal has termed the killing as sad and unfortunate.

Khattar said Rs 1 crore will be given to the family and a government job would be given to one member of the family.

"We'll not spare anyone. Strict action will be taken," said state Home Minister Anil Vij. (UNI)
