| Hue and cry over Giri's encounter as spot is devoid of splattered blood, blood stains | | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Nov 26: The encounter killing of Giri has raised hue and cry across the winter capital as the spot, where he was said to have fallen prey to police bullets near Satyam Resorts Sunday last, is devoid of splattered blood and blood stains.
There is a general feeling that he was killed in a staged encounter. Though there is no concrete evidence as regards his alleged fake encounter, police urgently require a protection against all this hue and cry.
Police termed Giri as a contract killer and said he was killed in retaliatory fire.
Giri's father, however, denied police claim that his son killed people in lieu of money and said he did not deserve to be killed in the alleged staged encounter.
"Does police have the right to kill alleged criminals?" he asked, saying courts ought to take suo moto notice of such encounters and alleged police brutality.
In the photographs of the encounter site, cops could be seen encircling the spot where Giri was stated to have been killed in exchange of fire. In these circles, blood stains are visible nowhere.
