BHOPAL: The Congress and other opposition MLAs, barring those belonging to the Bahujan Samaj Party, walked out of the Madhya Pradesh Assembly on Tuesday at the end of a debate on admissibility of an adjournment motion over a recent incident in which a tribal man was killed in police firing in Jhabua district.

Through the adjournment motion, moved by the Congress party’s Satyadev Katare and others, it was alleged that Ramesh Vasunia of Jhaida village in Jhabua district was gunned down by policemen, who were accompanied by one Kamlesh Jain and his four accomplices. Ramesh was returning to his village from Meghnagar along with his wife on July 2.

It was pointed out that Ramesh’s post-mortem was conducted hurriedly at night and the police cremated him the same night.

Further, it was stated that the victim’s wife was forced to sign on an FIR allegedly fabricated by the police.
