Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been formed to investigate the killing of Kishorilal Jatav, who was burnt alive by four miscreants Tiran Singh, Prakash Yadav, Sanju Yadav and Balbeer Yadav on Thursday at Parsoria village in Berasia.
The accused were nabbed later by the police. ASP Zone 4 Sanjay Sahu would now lead the SIT.
Tiran Singh Yadav is Gramin Mandal Secretary of OBC cell of the BJP in Berasia.
The SIT would comprise SDOP Berasia, SHO Berasia, SHO Eithkhedi and DSP of AJK police station.
Addl SP Sanjay Sahu said that the accused have denied their involvement in the crime.
The post mortem report is awaited and other evidences collected would be investigated in the further investigation.
The DIG Bhopal Dharmendra Chowdhary visited Berasia and said that the SIT would investigate the case.
Meanwhile, the issue has been embraced to gain political mileage by the Congress.
State Congress President Kamal Nath said that incident of burning alive of dalit farmer Kishorilal Jatav in the adjacent Berasia tehsil has brought embarrassment for the State and the country.
Nath said that a three-member team has been instructed to visit the area and submit report at the earliest.
He said that the brutal act was heinous, atrocious and shocking as it shown continuous oppression of dailts and farmers in the state and incidents of atrocities on these sections are on rise but still Shivraj lead government fails to control and curb them.
The deceased farmer and his family annoyed by atrocities of the local goons but his pleas were not heard as he was dalit and if his complaint would have been addressed his life would be saved.
It was revealed that the accused were having connections with BJP which provided immunity to them from any complaints and instead of getting justice farmer met his end.
He demanded immediate action against the accused.
The situation of farmers is worsening and several examples would be witnessed like a farmer Dhan Singh of Dewas whose family ploughs field in place of bullocks which reveals ground reality of state government schemes and present situation of farmers in the state.
