“There may be a conspiracy to eliminate the deceased and not to capture/arrest him alive which we feel that there should be an investigation to unearth the truth as to whether there was any criminal conspiracy and to prosecute all those involved as per law,” the group said.
In its report, the Commission had clearly stated that ‘the operation was a well laid plan, but executed poorly.
The KSKBUH said that the findings of the commission are very clear that the member(s) of the Tactical Team-I are/is culpable of causing the death of the deceased person and hence they should be investigated into, put to trial and prosecute those involved in this crime as per law of the land.
