2 Orissa PSOs jailed for ‘accidentally’ killing DIG

More than four years after former deputy inspector general Jaswinder Singh was shot by one of his security guards, a sessions court in Koraput district on Monday sentenced his two PSOs to jail. On October 16, 2006, Jaswinder Singh, the DIG of the Naxal-infested south-western police range, was killed when the 9 mm pistol of his personal security officer Sheshananda Sarangi went off “accidentally” as they were travelling in a jeep. Another PSO, Ashish Sarangi, tried to make it look like a Maoist attack. The court sentenced Seshananda to 10 years in prison and asked him to pay a penalty of Rs 20,000. Ashish was awarded three-year jail term and fined Rs 10,000.
