New Delhi: Maoists beheaded Jharkhand police officer Francis Induwar and left his decapitated body on a highway. The brutality has left a young child horrified and angry for revenge: Induwar’s seven-year-old son.
“You have killed my father, I will join the police and will kill you people--I will kill you people (Maoists),” said Abhishek Induwar before TV journalists at his home in Ranchi on Wednesday.
Union Home Minister P Chidambaram has said Induwar was murdered in “cold blood”. Chidambaram denied that the Maoists had demanded that the government release their leaders in exchange for Induwar.
"The DGP (Director General of Police of Jharkhand) has told me that there was no demand for a swap of prisoners. Besides, we are governed by the rule of the law. Prisoners are under the custody of the court, we cannot swap prisoners with those who are outside the law, who take the law into their own hands. There is no question of swap of prisoners," Chidambaram said on Tuesday.
Induwar, who worked as an intelligence officer with the Jharkhand Police’s special branch, is believed to have been abducted to force the release of three Maoist leaders, including senior Communist Party of India-Maoist leader Kobad Ghandy.
Induwar was kidnapped on September 30 and his decapitated body was found on the Ranchi-Jamshedpur highway on Tuesday morning.
