INDORE: A local court here has ordered to book 12 policemen on the charges of murder in the Bamania encounter case took place in 2004.

The orders were issued by Judicial Magistrate First Class (JMFC) Padmesh Shah yesterday while hearing the petition of Bamania's wife Reshambai, who alleged that police had killed her husband and later dubbed the incident as an encounter.

The court has also issued arrest warrant against all the 12 policemen including a Sub Inspector and an Assistant Sub Inspector, Reshambai's advocate Jainarayan Tiwari told reporters.

A case of murder has also been registered in the case earlier against another sub inspector following court directives.

It can be recalled that on Spetember 13, 2004, a constable identified as Rajendra Singh Raghuwanshi, who was posted in Khjarana police station of the city, reached Shyamlal Bamania's house and allegedly tried to molest his wife following which they had a dispute.

Later, Bamania in a fit of rage killed Raghuwanshi and surrendred before the police. But, policemen got infuriated over the incident and allegedly killed Bamania in a fake encounter to save themselves from the law, Tiwari added.
