Was it a fake encounter? Video of killing 8 SIMI activists raises doubts

October 31, 2016

Bhopal, Oct 31: Even though police have rubbished the charge of staging afake encounter' to eliminate eight alleged SIMI activists, a video clip of the encounter has now raised questions about the veracity of the claims of security forces.

avideo The suspects were killed after they allegedly escaped from Bhopal Central Jail, killing a security guard, according reports. The encounter by the Madhya Pradesh police took place at the Eintkhedi village just hours after the alleged prison-break.

The police described the encounter as a raging gun battle, with the SIMI members instigating the gunfire. However, in a video obtained by CNN News18 (which was shot by the sarpanch of the Acharpura village), the police are seen shooting at a man, who was not retaliating, in close range.

CNN News18 reports that the only weapons that were recovered from SIMI members were knives. The encounter took place at 8 am on Monday and the Madhya Pradesh government went public with the same at 11 am. Police reactions were not available immediately.

The SIMI activists had escaped early on Monday by scaling the prison wall with the help of bed sheets. They had slit the throat of a head constable using a steel plate and glass and tied up another before they escaped from the B block of the jail.

The Bhopal Central Jail is known to be one of the safest prisons in Madhya Pradesh.

The eight SIMI activists were identified as Amzad, Zakir Hussain Sadiq, Mohammad Salik, Mujeeb Shaikh, Mehbood Guddu, Mohammad Kalid Ahmed, Aqeel and Majid.

“Eight SIMI or Students Islamic Movement of India activists escaped at around 2-3 am by killing a jail security guard,” DIG Bhopal Raman Singh told PTI.

Madhya Pradesh home minister Bhupendra Singh had said jail officials who were responsible for looking after the security had been suspended.

The home ministry sought a report from the Madhya Pradesh government about the jail break.

The ministry also asked the Madhya Pradesh government to send a detailed report about the jail break, whether there was any lapse on the part of the jail administration and the steps taken to check such incidents.

This was the second major jail break by SIMI operatives in three years. In 2013 seven members of the group had escaped from a jail in Khandwa, Madhya Pradesh. The central security agencies were particularly anxious as four of the seven SIMI activists who escaped could be arrested only after three years and during the period of their hiding the militants were involved in multiple incidents of terror and a bank robbery.

While in hiding, the SIMI men were allegedly involved in terror activities in several states including Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh.

That's what all ISIS people say mr shitty Kazi

Bhupanna .....72 virgins are waiting for you in Himalayas.... do not quote any lies here.... can you quote from where u got this figure of 72... only scou**rels quote this figure ....

If u say all terrorists are not Muslims and agree that the 8 people who were killed are non Muslims why are you shedding tears for them ?

72 virgins await for them anyway. They should thank the Indian police for giving them Hannah so soon rather than waste taxpayers money eating biriyani.

HAPPY DIWALI

rajesh, india
First of all you need to understand that there is nothing called islamic terrorists. If you call these 8 people as islamic terrorists then what what label you would like to give to Praveen Togadiya, Karnal Purohith, Sadhvi prajna, Swami aseemanand and all the members of sanghi terrorist organizations.

As brother RAJESH said no mercy should be shown who kills innocent people.I personally Agree and Support our brother RAJESH comments.
Also shoot the terrorist who raped and killed innocent Muslim pregnent Women in Gujarath.
Also shoot the terrorist who killed innocent old Muslim men in Dadar.
Also shoot the terrorist who raped and killed 17 year old Harijan sisiter in Bihar.
Also shoot the terrorist who killed Praveen Poojari in Udupi in the name of Gou Raakshaka.
Also shoot the terrorist who killed innocent Harish Poojari last year
Also shoot the terrorist who attacked the Innocent students in Home Stay.

Well said Brother RAJESH.God bless you

Cheddis have people like Bopanna and Rajesh whose head is working worse than DONKEYs ... Whatever given accepts it... without realising the life lost...
There are many CULPRITS who would have been exposed the reality of cheddi's involvement in crimes across india, if the court continues the trial .. it would have even proved the false case against these innocents.
To hide their Evil agenda these kind of killing happening across the country after Cheddi govt is in power...
But Truth will over take the evil whatever evil they play ... We will know the reality very soon God willing.

Bhupanna......do not forget that USA did not hesitate to kill its ambassador, when they wanted to kill Zia ul Haq.... when the xxxxx Indian police wanted to kill 8 people, they have to lose one.... nothing strange.... every one knows the xxxx indian mentality ....

WHat about the Policeman whom they killed ? It's ok is it?

Can I recommend these 8 Muslims for the Nobel Peace prize or at least the Bharath Ratna for services to humanity ?

Of course it is a fake encounter.....well planned....those who played the game they should be punished including all cops...these 8 members including a guard were all innocents.....law did not prove them as guilty as of now...

Yes its FAKE ENCOUNTER..
As someone posted in FB \ Men who escape prison in the morning, had time to change clothes & put on sports shoes\"..."

I think This people Will Target Muslim By Giving The Name SIMI.

whether it is fake or genuine , who cares ... they are islamic terrorists , they must be shot on their head moment we find them , they had killed 187 people by conducting bomb blast based on instruction from isi. superb police ,well done and totally justified .

Mangaluru violence: ADGP holds meeting with senior cops

News Network

January 5,2020

Mangaluru, Jan 5: Against the backdrop of Mangalore violence of December 19, Additional Director General of Police of Karnataka Amar Kumar Pandey visited the city and held a meeting with senior police officers.

According to senior police officials here on Sunday, Dakshina Kannada and Udupi District Muslim Central Committee had planned to hold a protest against CAA at Nehru Maidan while the SKSSF had called for anti-CAA protest at State Bank area.

Though both the protests had been called off, there was an apprehension of a repeat incident of December 19 violence and hence the ADGP visited the city at the behest of state government and monitored the situation here for the entire day on Saturday.

The ADGP was unhappy that despite initial inputs and the imposition of Section 144 in the city, the situation on that day escalated to a level where police had to resort to firing only in this city.

Mangaluru: No mad rush after lockdown relaxation; people line up in front of liquor shops

coastaldigest.com news network

May 4,2020

Mangaluru, May 4: No major crowds were seen in the coastal city of Mangaluru today except in front of the liquor shops after the district administration relaxed the lockdown norms for 12 hours a day (between 7am and 7pm).

There was no mad rush of vehicles either on city roads when the relaxed lockdown began. There were fewer people to buy essentials in front of grocery and vegetable shops as they had time till late evening.

There was no let down in the number of police pickets as well as curbs on vehicular movement across the city either.

The government has allowed sale of liquor in CL2 (standalone wine shops) and CL 11 (MSIL outlets) to mop up revenues when Lockdown-3 commenced from Monday. Compared the other parts of Karnataka, the size of queues in front of liquor shops in Mangaluru were smaller.

Like other parts of the country, the lockdown was imposed in the coastal district on March 24 to prevent the spread of Covid-19. Prior to that, a curfew was imposed in the district from March 22 midnight. The lockdown did not apply to essential services such as sale of food, groceries, milk, vegetables, fruits, and meat and fish. Gradually the district administration had to intensify the lockdown and allow those shops to remain open only between 7 a.m. and 12 noon.

With the lockdown relaxation extending till 7 p.m., Mangaluru today witnessed people and private vehicles moving freely in the afternoon for the first time in more than a month. However, only those who had to go for work and do other essential activities were seen on roads. After 7 p.m. movements of all kinds of vehicles will be prohibited.

The relaxation was to facilitate economic activities that had come to a standstill during the first two phases of lockdown. Mangaluru City Police Commissioner Dr P S Harsha, meanwhile, warned the people against misusing lockdown relaxation and venturing out without any genuine reason.
