CT-RaviBangalore, Apr 26: The Bharatiya Janata Party on Friday demanded the government withdraw the murder case against an Anti-Naxal Force (ANF) constable who gunned down Kabeer near Sringeri.

At a press conference here, BJP State general secretary C T Ravi said, “No doubt the incident is accidental, but nevertheless the youth, Kabeer, who was killed was not an innocent.”

By booking a murder case against the ANF?personnel Naveen Naik, the government demoralised the force, he claimed.

“The government has succumbed to pressure from SDPI and Komu?Souharda Vedike and increased the compensation paid to Kabeer's family from Rs five lakh to Rs 10 lakh.” he alleged. He said Kabeer and his associates had started to run as soon as they saw the ANF?personnel approach them. The personnel were doing their duty, he claimed.

“The personnel will hesitate to open fire even if they come across real Maoists,”?Ravi said.

He said that booking the constable for murder would crush the morale of the ANF as well as the police force who would not try to take any risk in the future. This may result in strengthening of the Maoist cadre, he said.
