Raipur : Former Chhattisgarh chief minister Ajit Jogi Wednesday alleged that the 15 people killed last week and dubbed Maoists were innocent and demanded an independent probe.
Accusing the police of plotting a “fake encounter”, Jogi told reporters here: “The police actually murdered civilians belonging to Gollapalli area including Singavaram village of Dantewada district.”
He sought a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) or a panel of the state assembly.
The police have maintained they killed 15 insurgents in a gun battle with Maoists at a forested stretch of Gollappali area Jan 8.
