Two youths, whom the Narayanpur police on Wednesday claimed to have been killed in Madhonar forest in a gun battle, were actually killed in fake encounter by the district police after they were summoned to the thana for enquiry, charged relatives of the youth, even as Congress MlA Kawasi lakhma demanded a CBI probe in the alleged murder.
Notably, the district police on Wednesday claimed to have gunned down two Jan militia members Ful Singh and Jai Singh of Hikonar village in the forests of Madhonar in Chhotedongar thana area besides recovering large quantity of arms and ammunition from the encounter spot. However, the police refused to handover the bodies of the youths to their relatives who reached Narayanpur from their village.
Brother of the two youths Ram Singh Thursday claimed that he had left the two at Chhotedongar thana on April 30 as the police had called the two youths for enquiry and police promised to let them off next morning after interrogation.
But the two youths were killed instead. He said that the two youths were associated with Maoists organisation sometime back only due to compulsion but were leading normal life through farming. Jaisingh has five kids, while Fulsingh has three.

Meanwhile, Congress MlA Kawasi lakhma who was on Narayanpur visit Thursday termed the encounter fake and demanded a CBI enquiry in to the murder. He also reportedly held a meeting with the district collector on the issue.
