Want Vijay to surrender: Mother
KASAULI:AFTER the Himachal Pradesh State Electricity Board Limited suspended Vijay Singh, who had shot dead an assistant town and country planner in Kasauli on Tuesday, his mother Narayani Devi, wants him to surrender.
“I am worried about him. I know he has done wrong and it should not have happened but I fear that he may kill himself,” said 73-year-old Narayani Devi, surrounded by three grand children and other relatives in a partially demolished building in Kasauli.
“I am still shocked. How could he do so? He loves his children so much. Day before yesterday, he (Vijay) was planning to go to St Marry School where his three children study,” she said, adding that while leaving, he just said he may die, please take care of my children.
52-year-old Singh, was working as a senior private secretary in HPSEBL headquarter in Shimla.
“She (Shail Bala) did not listen to our version. We have map of this building and also paying taxes since long. This building did not come up overnight. We have been living here since decades,” Narayani said.
As per the town and country planning department, two floors are illegal and we have pulled down one floor and closed the ground floor but the officers were not ready to listen to us, she added.
“Our life has been ruined. What would I do if he kills himself or any one else? My grandchildren’s future is at stake now,” said she, pointing towards children, who were busy playing with their pet.
However, Vijay's wife did not utter a word and was constantly looking at her children.
“We constructed this house in 2000 and developed into a guest house later. Over these years, no officer came to tell us that it was illegal. We had hopes from the Supreme Court but no one pleaded for us,” she said.
“He (Vijay) was upset for last few days. He had left no stone unturned to make authorities understand that we would pull out illegal portion,” she further added.
