The Maoist sympathiser demanded the Centre and Bengal government make arrangements for Kishenji's niece Deepa to identify his body.
Telugu Poet and Maoist sympathiser Varvara Rao Thursday demanded that the Centre and West Bengal government make arrangements for Kishenji's niece Deepa to identify his body.
Stating that Kishenji's elder brother was very ill and his mother very old and a cancer patient, Rao said from Hyderabad that Maoist politburo member's body should be identified by Deepa who lived at Peddapalli town in in Karimnagar district of Andhra Pradesh.
"Deepa should be airlifted from Peddapalli to identify the body. For this, the Centre and West Bengal government should make arrangements," he said.
Criticising the Mamata Banerjee government for 'damaging' the peace talks with Maoists, Rao said "Mamata Banerjee on one hand spoke of peace while carrying on joint force operations. This is nothing but deception."
The Maoist sympathiser suspected that Kishenji was captured by the joint forces in West Midnapore district on Wednesday and killed. "A story of an encounter was then fabricated", he alleged.
Kishenji was killed in an encounter today with security forces in a forest in West Midnapore district of West Bengal.
Human rights activist and pro-Maoist Sujato Bhadra, who heads the government-appointed team of interlocutors for talks with Maoists, demanded that in compliance with the National Human Rights Commission's directives, a criminal case should be registered against the party which killed Kishenji.
"As a human rights activist, we demand that in compliance with the National Human Rights Commission's mandatory directives, 1995 and 2003, a criminal case under 302 of IPC be registered against the party which killed Kishenji, irrespective of whether it was a real or fake encounter," Bhadra told PTI here.
The police, he said, had to prove that they had killed Kishenji in self defence.
He said after identification, the body should be properly preserved and sent to his next of kin with 'due respect'.
To a question, Bhadra said the interlocutors would meet tomorrow to review the situation.
