Two days after senior photojournalist Ashish Raje was assaulted by two policemen at Morland Road, while covering the protest by women at Nagpada against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, the two officers – Assistant Police Inspector Ghanshyam Borse and Probationary Police Sub Inspector Azim Shaikh – who were posted at Nagpada police station, were on Saturday transferred to the police’s Central Region control room as a disciplinary move. A departmental enquiry has also been initiated in the matter.

After seven and a half years of an alleged encounter in the State of Chattisgarh’s Bastar region between the security forces and alleged Maosit, a court of inquiry has come to a conclusion. The alleged encounter is said to have killed seventeen villagers, including seven minors and six security personnel and ten villagers were left injured after the violent roundabout. The encounter was carried out despite no evidence on record to suggest that the killed or injured in the exchange were Maoists. The flip side of the story suggests that they were not Maoists and the police knew about the same before engaging with them. A single member inquiry commission was directed in the said case with a retired judge of the Madhya Pradesh high court, Justice V.K. Agarwal.
