SSP Lucknow Kalanidhi Naithani confirmed that the inspector had been removed from his post. The move came after the SSP took a serious note of a viral video, which showed Singh sitting on his chair, not responding to the deceased mother, who was pleading before him to take action against the factory owner. The mother reportedly accused the factory owner of causing death due to negligence, as a heavy machinery part had fallen on Rinku. The SSP said the inspector’s act seemed to be insensitive and inhuman. Naithani said details had also been sought from the forest department over allegations that the factory was running illegally.
