Kargil hero killed in fake encounter by Madhya Pradesh police?

Gwalior: An inconsolable Yasmin Khan alleges her husband and a veteran of the Kargil war, Lance Naik Amjad Khan was shot dead by the police in a fake encounter for promotions and glory.

Police allege he was a dacoit, but on August 19, the family alleges, the Bhind police picked up Amjad along with three other young men on the pretext of questioning in a petty case.

Three days later their bodies were found in the ravines riddled with bullets.

Apart from being a Kargil veteran, Khan had after leaving the Army in 2008, become an active Youth Congress leader.

Following allegations that Khan was murdered by the police, an inquiry has been ordered.

"Besides the Bhind collector ordering a magisterial inquiry, I have also asked the police officers from other districts - Datia and Sheopur to investigate the incident impartially," said SK Jha, IG Chambal range.

But the Opposition is demanding a CBI inquiry in this alleged cold blood murder, all in the name of glory.
