A deputy commandant of Jharkhand Jaguar (an elite assault group of Jharkhand Police) Rajesh Kumar martyred during an encounter with extremists of banned outfit Jharkhand Jana Mukti Parishad (JJMP) on Tuesday afternoon.
According to key witnesses in the case, Milind Teltumbde was inspired by his brother Anand Teltumbde and used the Maoist literature provided by the latter to further the activities of banned organisation CPI(M)
Paying his tributes, Hemant Soren compared the deceased Naxal sympathiser to tribal legend Birsa Munda to claim that Jharkhand never lagged behind when it comes to making sacrifices, whether it was Birsa Munda or Father Stan Swamy.
