The petition was filed by Tudu’s brother-in-law Dhani Ram Kisku and Association for Protection of Democratic Rights (APDR), a human rights organisation, on Tuesday. They alleged the police refused to hand over the body to his family after identification on February 23.
Two days later, the ADPR claimed, its members went to Jhargram and urged the police and local administration to hand over the body to his family but to no avail.
The petition alleges that Tudu was not killed in a police encounter but was picked up by the security forces along with two others from his home at Narcha village on the night of February 22. The police then took them to a deserted place and opened fire on them. Next day the body of Tudu was recovered from a field, the petition adds. According to the petition, the other two are still missing.
The petition alleges that the police killed Tudu after he was chosen the president of the PCAPA. Justice Dipankar Dutta of the Calcutta High Court, while accepting the plea, said he will hear the case later this week.
Meanwhile, Manoj Verma, SP (West Midnapore) dismissed the allegations made in the petition saying the Tudu family did not approach the Lalgarh police station to hand over his body on February 23. Verma said the police requested the Tudu family to receive the body after February 25 but it was refused by them.
