“son was cornering all govt contracts”?
Were naxals also competing for contracts back then??
What sort of a human justifies such killing?
Are you a naxal too? Do you also believe in uprooting Indian govt by violence?
If not , then do not get into this naxalite defending hypocrite mood, for your political leanings.
Justice is not served by blowing a person up in pieces, if charges of corruption are alleged against him. Read our laws and abide by them.
Senseless killing. But imagine the anger which has gone into their head against leader who misuse their power and authority. In 2015 in a similar situation on 15 Congress MLA, his son, security personnel wee killed near Makthal in Mahaboobnagar Telangana. The son was cornering all govt contracts.
