Youth killed in fake encounter in Dehradun
WSN Network

DEHRA DUN: Trigger happy police in Dehradun shot dead an MBA student after he failed to halt exactly at the spot where policemen manning a post had asked him to when he was riding on a mobike. Police later claimed he was killed in an encounter and branded him a rank criminal. 

This triggered widespread protests as the student had no previous crime history and had gone to Dehradun to join a new job. As much shame was piled on to the police and state government squirmed for answers, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank on Saturday ordered a CB-CID. 

But by then all faith had been lost and he was forced to offereven a CBI investigation into the death of the student from Noida near Delhi.  

Relatives of the boy have demanded a CBI probe to find out why and how Ranvir had been taken into custody by the police from a dharamshala and later shot dead in the “encounter” in the jungle, as per the police version.  

“Ranvir has been a very peace-loving boy with no criminal record and only a high-level inquiry will reveal the truth,” they said. A large crowd surrounded the post-mortem ward where Ranvir’s body was kept and tension mounted after his father refused to accept the body.
