Chhattishgarh: Sukma martyrs' uniforms found in garbage bin
Raipur, Dec 4 (IBNS): In a shameful incident, blood-stained uniforms and shoes of some of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel who were killed in the Sukma attack in Chhattisgarh recently by Maoists were found in a garbage bin at the hospital premises, reports said.
A row has started over the incident as people responsible to the bodies of the martyrs have begun a blame game.
"Congress workers came and took all uniforms to Ghadi Chowk and started protest and refused to give to local police. It is a mischief by some political parties," DIG, Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) was quoted as saying by CNN-IBN channel.
The hospital staff also passed on the responsibility.
"It is the duty of the attendants of the deceased to collect their belongings but no officer from the CRPF was present during the post-mortem yesterday. In fact, no one came to collect the belongings until this morning," Dean of Dr BR Ambedkar Memorial hospital Dr Vivek Chaudhary told the channel.
Meanwhile, the Home Ministry has sought a report from Chhattisgarh government over the incident and has ordered it to punish the defaulters.
"Spoke to Ch'garh CM @drramansingh regarding the insult of CRPF martyrs's uniform and asked him to institute an inquiry into this incident," Singh tweeted.
"I have asked Ch'garh CM to fix the responsibility in this case and punish those involved in insulting the uniform of the deceased CRPF men," he posted.
