On Monday, Singh and his team were trying to control protests after cow carcasses were found in a forest. Soon after a mob went out of control, and began attacking the policemen with stones. As the protest turned violent, two persons, including the inspector, were killed in mob violence in Siana area of Bulandshahr. According to reports, the protest was allegedly led by Yogesh Raj, member of Bajrang Dal, who claimed that seven men slaughtered cows in village Mahaw.
