NCST Demands Report on Jharkhand Encounter Death
The government is being asked about the death of a tribal leader named Surya.
A special group, NCST, wants to know more about what happened because some people think he was killed on purpose.
The government now has three days to explain what happened to this special group.
If they don't respond, the group can use its powers to make the government answer.
Some politicians believe that this was a fake encounter and are asking for a deeper, independent investigation to ensure fairness for the leader's family.
This is making the situation even more complicated.
NCST demands report from Jharkhand government within three days regarding Surya Hansda's death.
The notice, issued on August 18th, followed a petition by Rajya Sabha MP Deepak Prakash.
Deepak Prakash alleges that the encounter was staged and seeks a fair investigation.
Police reported that Hansda, with multiple criminal cases, was killed in an encounter.
BJP leaders have already demanded a CBI probe and a second post-mortem.
