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

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.

avideoThe 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.

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.

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.

Bengaluru, Jul 7: Former Health minister and Congress MLA UT Khader has alleged that the state government has purchased coronavirus equipment for more than twice the actual price.

"Rs 500 sanitizers have been purchased for Rs 900 and Rs 9,000 has been paid to Rs 1200 for the thermal metre by the government. Instead of asking to allow him to work, Mr B Sriramulu, being health minister he must work for the people," he said.

He said that three months have passed since the pandemic started but the state government is still struggling to send ambulances to needy patients.

"Instead of ambulance it is sending final rights vehicle to needy people," Khader said.

According to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, there are 23,474 coronavirus cases in Karnataka including 13,255 and 372 deaths.
