Lucknow, August 4
The Uttar Pradesh Government today shunted out the Sonbhadra District Magistrate Ankit Kumar Agrawal and Superintendent of Police Salman Taj Patil, besides ordering action against 13 other officials after they were indicted in an inquiry into the killing of 10 Gond tribals last month over a land dispute.
Action against the DM and SP comes for “one-sided decision” against villagers.
Addressing a press conference at his residence, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said FIRs had been registered against 28 persons in the case. Twelve primary members of Adarsh Krishi Sahkari Samiti, Umbha, who are alive, will also be booked for grabbing gram sabha land.
The disputed land in Umbha and Saphi villages would be transferred back and registered in the name of gram sabha, he said, while announcing that a special investigation team would look into the matter. — TNS
