Yasmin Khan, wife of the victim and a block level Congress leader has alleged that her husband, a former army man who had fought in the Kargil war, was killed by MP police in a fake encounter.
As a row erupted between state Congress leaders and police over the killing of an ex-soldier and Kargil war hero, Madhya Pradesh government has ordered a magisterial inquiry into the incident.
Inspector general of police (Chambal range) SK Jha said today that besides the magisterial inquiry an additional superintendent of police has also been asked to probe the matter.
Yasmin Khan, wife of the victim and a block level Congress leader has alleged that her husband, a former army man who had fought in the Kargil war, was killed by MP police in a fake encounter.
"My husband was killed in cold blood by the Bhind police to get medals and promotions," Yasmin, block unit Congress chief in Bhind district, said here yesterday.
Amjad, who was shot dead for being a "dacoit", was in the Army for 10 years and had fought the 1999 Kargil war before becoming a social worker. He was an active Youth Congress leader of the district, Yasmin said.
A police team visited their home and told Khan's family that they (Amjad and three youths) were being taken for questioning in some case.
All four were killed in an encounter with police in the ravines of Bhind district on August 22. Police had claimed that they were "dacoits", according to Yasmin.
Deputy leader of opposition in the Assembly, Rakesh Singh Chaturvedi and Congress leader Govind Singh also alleged that the police team led by SP Chanchal Sekhar killed the party worker in a staged shootout.
They demanded a CBI probe into the incident.
"There was no criminal record against Amjad. In an attempt to get medals, the Bhind police hatched a conspiracy and killed the four persons, including Amjad," Chaturvedi said.
The Congress leaders demanded registration of a murder case against the SP and other policemen involved in the "encounter".
