Accounts of victimisation by Maoists and State’s agencies in Chhattisgarh tumble out
5,000 testimonies in less than a month: NGO
Thousands of accounts of victimisation by Maoists and the State’s agencies in Chhattisgarh have tumbled out in days thanks to an NGO’s initiative of recording the victims’ testimonies.
Three slum dwellers from Bijapur have said they pay the municipality Rs 300 to Rs 900 annually for the public land they have been squatting on since being evicted from their village by the erstwhile Salwa Judum, a state-backed anti-Maoist militia, in 2005. One of the three men, Ashok Minz, said the Maoists had killed his father that year.
