Police had rejected the claim
Earlier on March 29, Chhattisgarh Police had rejected Maoists’ allegations of killing of six Naxalites in a recent encounter and said it was a strategy to undermine the credibility of security forces and hide their own violent acts. There is a way. Inspector General of Police (Bastar Range) Sundarraj P had emphasized that Maoists often resort to such claims to divert attention from their violent acts. He was reacting to a statement by the banned organization Communist Party of India (Maoist). The statement claimed that the encounter that took place on Wednesday in Bijapur district of Chhattisgarh was fake and the police killed six people after catching them.
