Chhattisgarh Police Mull Over Basavaraju's Body Handover

A high-ranking Maoist leader named Basavaraju was killed.

His family wants his body to perform final rituals.

However, the police in Chhattisgarh are thinking about not giving it to them.

The police worry that a large public funeral could turn into a show of support for the Maoists.

They may hold a private funeral instead to prevent any issues.

This is similar to how authorities in Jammu and Kashmir handle funerals of terrorists.
