The Supreme Court on Thursday turned the tables on activist Himanshu Kumar who had accused the Chhattisgarh Police, state-sponsored vigilantes and paramilitary forces of “massacring” tribal people in three villages of Dantewada during the anti-Naxal operations in 2009.
The court said the “alleged massacre was at the end of the Naxalites (Maoists)”. Investigations had already been conducted into the incidents. Chargesheets had been filed for offences, including murder, dacoity, etc. There was not an “iota of material” against the forces.
