Hyderabad, Jan 07: Mortal remains of K C Surendra
Babu, Superintendent of Munger district in Bihar, who was
killed there in a landmine blast by CPI (Maoist) ultras on
Wednesday, were consigned to flames with full police honours
in Ramachandrapuram near here today.
Babu, a 1997 batch IPS officer, was on a combing
operation when the Naxalites triggered a landmine blast,
killing him and six other policemen on the spot.
His final rites were performed by his brother Thyagu
Naik. A pall of gloom descended when the body was brought
from Patna last night at Hyderabad airport and received by his
parents and other family members, including his wife and
daughter, amidst anti-Naxal slogans by his friends and
relatives.
Wreaths on behalf of the state government, the Chief
Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy and the state police were
placed on the slain officer's body before cremation.
Former TDP ministers, leaders of political parties and
IPS officers were among those who attended the funeral.
