Anandpal case: Rajasthan minister calls chargesheet ‘unfortunate’

JAIPUR: State cabinet minister Pratap Singh Khachariyawas has called the chargesheet in the infamous Anandpal encounter naming several Rajput social and community leaders, ‘unfortunate’ on Friday.
In a statement, the minister accused the BJP of misusing the law enforcement agencies to shift the blame of their involvement in the encounter on others.
“It is a politically motivated move by the BJP to prove the encounter right and put the blame on others,” said the minister. His statement came after social leaders met him to raise the issue.
The chargesheet filed by the CBI has named several social and community leaders creating an uproar in the state. Khachariyawas further added that some of those named in the chargesheet were not even present at the encounter site.
He said that the role of BJP leaders has always been doubtful. “Then the BJP government has tried to stop the protesting family of Anandpal demanding fair probe in the encounter by filing an FIR and handed over the investigation to CBI.”
