ROHTAK: The families are incensed. Aman’s father, Suresh Kumar, rejected the govt’s compensation of Rs 5 lakh. “We want an FIR against those responsible for my son’s death. It may not be ‘under the sports department’ on paper, but why did the department never intervene on safety? We do not want compensation or clean chits in the name of inquiries,” he said.Strangely, the Rohtak report was prepared by the same district sports officer (DSO), who was suspended after the incident. Hardik died on Nov 25 and DSO Anoop Singh was suspended the very next day. But the report signed by Anoop is dated Nov 26. Does it mean he submitted the report before his suspension? Which would indicate that he wrapped up the investigation into the boy’s death in a matter of hours and gave his department the clean chit.What’s more, the same report was endorsed by sports deputy director Sunita Khatri, who marked it to director-sports, Rohtak division, Panchkula, on Nov 27, while was (and is) still under suspension.
