Madhya Pradesh Human Rights Commission has served notices to Director General of Police (DGP) MP and SP Ashoknagar and sought a reply within three weeks over alleged murder of a tribal man in Ashoknagar district days ago.
Enraged with the ‘killing’ of their community man, tribals of around 200 villages of the region had threatened to take to streets in case the perpetrators of the murder weren’t arrested by police shortly.
In a violent clash took place in village Kalua Chakk in Mungaoli tehsil, a local tribal man Khilne had died.
A communique from the commission said that tribals had on Thursday met public representatives in village Kalua Chakk under the limits of Bahadurpur police station in Ashoknagar claiming that one Giriraj Singh, prime accused in the ‘murder’ of Khilne, had usurped their 250 bigha land and their houses were burnt down by attackers.
We are wrongly framed in an attempt to murder case and we are accused of looting a four wheeler which was deliberately left in the village by attackers, claimed the tribals.
On the complaint of the locals, Balram Singh, Giriraj Singh, their associates and 5-7 unknown persons have been booked under sections 147, 148, 149, 307, 436, other relevant sections of IPC and under SC/ST (prevention of atrocities) Act and a manhunt has been launched to nab the culprits, said Bahadurgarh police.
