Dehradun (TIP)- A woman shot dead  in Uttarakhand’s Udham Singh Nagar district during clashes with an Uttar Pradesh Police team, which reached there looking for a man accused of illegal sand mining, was identified  as the wife of a local BJP leader. The incident at Bharatpur village in Udham Singh Nagar district, in which six UP Police personnel were injured, including two with gunshot wounds, triggered a war of words between police forces of the two BJP-ruled states. Uttarakhand Police said it was not kept in the loop about the operation, but the UP Police said it had alerted the Udham Singh Nagar police before mounting the operation. The woman shot dead was identified as Gurpreet Bhullar, wife of local BJP leader and block chief Gurtej Bhullar. DIG (Kumaon) Nilesh Anand Bharne told The Indian Express that an FIR had been registered on the complaint of the woman’s family at the Kunda police station. He said the UP Police team came to make an arrest in Uttarakhand but did not inform the local police. The FIR is against 11-12 unidentified UP police personnel and has been registered under IPC sections relating to murder, rioting, house-trespass after preparation for hurt, assault or wrong­ful restraint, intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace, criminal intimidation and criminal conspiracy.
