Chhattisgarh - Fake encounter of disabled adivasi youth

[Kamayani]

A five member fact finding team visited Metapal village on 20 December, 2016 to probe an alleged encounter of a minor named Pottam Somaru that took place on the 16th of December. The team had come to attend a meeting organized by People’s Union of Civil Liberties in Matenar, Dantewada for researchers, activists and journalists to learn about the issues faced by adivasis in the area on questions of forest rights and human rights. At this meeting the members of the team heard about an incident in which the police claimed before the press that they had gunned down a dreaded Maoist during an encounter, while the villagers and family were reported in the local press to have demonstrated outside the Gangaloor Police Station claiming that the encounter was fake. The team—comprising lawyer Atindriyo Chakraborty, scientist Bittu, and journalists Aritra Bhattacharya, Pushpa and Pavani — spoke to several villagers and eyewitnesses. Below is a description of the villagers’ rendition of the incidents that transpired on 16 December, who claimed Somaru had been killed in cold blood after being tied up by the armed forces and police.

*I carry a torch in one hand
And a bucket of water in the other:
With these things I am going to set fire to Heaven
And put out the flames of Hell
So that voyagers to God can rip the veils
And see the real goal.......
