The Federation for Peoples Rights here today urged the administration to refer to CBI probe the alleged shooting and capture of a rowdy here last week. Federation Secretary G Sugumaran, who released the report for the fact-finding committe into the firing at a press conference here today, claimed the ‘encounter’ seemed to be fake as there was no evidence of a bomb attack on the police party, no injury marks were found on the sub-inspectors who resumed duty and the people of the nearby area of the incident did not hear bomb explosion or gun shots. In this situation,any enquiry by the Puducherry Police will hide the facts and hance a CBI probe should be ordered. The federation also urged the administration to provide a government job to the wife of Jagadeesan ‘who was killed in a case of mistaken identity’ and a solatium of Rs 10 lakh to his family. Referring to the alleged attack on the fact-finding committee,Mr Sugumaran charged the police had misguided the people of the area stating the committee was constituted to justify the death of Jagadeesan. The alleged involvement of the Tamil Nadu and Puducherry Police to thwart humarn rights activities is highly regrettable,he added.
