Every policeman, be it SSP to a constable, has donated their one day salary to help the family of Vineet Sharma, who was the computer operator in the city’s Police Lines since 2014.
Vineet died last month after battling with cancer. As the deceased cop was survived by his wife Gunjan Sharma and two young girls, the police in Bulandshahr came forward to help the family of the sole breadwinner.
“Vineet was a good employee and his children and wife deserve to live a decent life. To help them, everyone one in the police community has donated their one day’s salary. We managed to arrange Rs 33.28 lakh which were handed over to his wife today,” said Bulandshahr SSP Santosh Kumar.
The senior cop added that Vineet's wife will also get a job in the police department and monetary help as per the government norms. "It will happen in the due course of time," he said.
