Ex-IPS officer and former MLA Sultan Singh took his last breath at a private hospital in Kolkata on Sunday. He was currently 76 and was suffering from cancer.
Known as a bold police officer, Singh left Indian Police Service (IPS) in 2011 to join the Trinamool Congress. He won the Bally assembly seat in 2011 and served as a member of the Howrah Improvement Trust (HIT) and, for a while, the chairperson of the West Bengal Surface Transport Corporation.
West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee tweeted, “Saddened to hear about the demise of former @AITCofficial MLA & former IPS officer Sultan Singh ji. My deepest condolences to his family and well-wishers. His contribution to public service shall always be remembered.”
