Plea in Chhattisgarh HC alleges nexus between Naxals,cops

But as he learnt about the links of top policemen with the Maoists,he informed the state home ministry.

When he did not receive any reply,he wrote to then Union Home Minister P Chidambaram on July 28,2010,detailing the nexus. Soon after,the state police approached him and asked him to keep quiet,the youth said in his petition.

Considering the sensitivity of the case,the High Court accepted his counsel Satish Verma’s plea and held the proceedings in-camera — press and outsiders were not allowed.

The court asked the state government to provide him immediate security and file a reply within three weeks by an officer not less than IG rank.

The petitioner,requesting anonymity,said that as he approached the Central government,state police officers began threatening him and even the Maoists attacked him on a few occasions.

“The case is in honourable court. It is not appropriate for me to respond,we will submit our response before the court,” DGP Ramniwas said,when approached for his reaction.
