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.

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.
