Raipur, June 06: Even as a day-long bandh is being observed in Chattisgarh to protest killing of NCP treasurer Ram Avatar Jaggi, police has registered an FIR against party state chief V C Shukla and about 150 supporters after they allegedly stormed a police station demanding action against Chief Minister Ajit Jogi and his son. The Station House Officer of Mohdapara police station V K Pandey registered the case yesterday under various sections of IPC, including a case of dacoity.
"When I tried to explain them that an FIR has already been registered and he was ready to take their statement, they shouted at me, pressurised me and finally snatched my mobile phone and landline phone from my hand and did not allow me to talk to any of my seniors or go out of my chamber and used foul language and threatened me," the SHO said. Working on their pressure, the SHO said, he had to accept their "false report" and on his report a case has been registered under various sections, including dacoity, against them and an investigation into the matter was on.
Jogi and his son Amit have denied the charges.
NCP Chattisgarh treasurer Ram Avtar Jaggi, a close confidante of party president V C Shukla, was late Wednesday night shot dead by unidentified gunmen here. Jaggi’s son Satish filed a report to the police alleging Chief Minister Ajit Jogi and his son Amit were "behind the murder”.
According to NCP spokesman Pramod Choubey, Satish said Jogi did not like Jaggi`s association with Shukla and on May 11 last the chief minister had threatened him with dire consequences. Bureau Report
