Satna (MP):

A police constable was crushed to dying by a tractor when he went to a village in Madhya Pradesh’s Satna to probe a diesel black advertising tip-off, an official mentioned on Monday.

The native police station in-charge has been suspended for telling superiors that constable Prabal Pratap Singh had died in a highway accident, he added.

“Constable Singh had gone to Patla village after getting information about a diesel black marketing racket on Sunday evening. He was run over and killed by a tractor that he tried to intercept,” he mentioned.

“Nayagaon police station in charge Ashish Dhurve, who told superior officers Singh was killed in a road accident was placed under suspension on Monday. The truth about the incident was revealed after a police team reached the village and spoke to people there,” he mentioned.
