New Delhi, July 06: The Congress today condemned the killing of an MBA graduate Ranbir Singh at the hands of Uttarakhand police and called for concrete and robust action against those involved in the incident.
“It reflects brutalisation of democracy, something which is and should be an anathema to democracy. We call for an immediate short enquiry and robust action,” party spokesman Abhishek Singhvi said.
“A full-fledged comprehensive enquiry is the starting point, bare minimum that has to begin…,” he added.
Death of the 22-year-old Ghaziabad youth, in what police termed as an encounter in Uttarakhand, had sparked a row after the post-mortem report showed that his body bore injury marks of 12 bullets, fired from close range and 27 other injuries suggesting he may have been tortured.
