Former DGP Abhyanand has raised serious questions regarding the recent Bharat Tiwari encounter case in Bihar. He specifically termed the presence of a Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) at the encounter site as 'beyond comprehension'. This incident had already sparked doubts about police action, and now the former police chief's statement has further intensified the controversy.

Former DGP Abhyanand stated that during any encounter or police operation, unless there is a specific legal or administrative requirement, the presence of a civil officer like an SDM at the scene is unusual. He questioned the SDM's role there and under what protocol their presence was justified. According to Abhyanand, only police forces and concerned judicial or medical officers are typically present at such scenes.

This incident came to light when a person named Bharat Tiwari was reportedly killed in a police encounter. Police claimed Tiwari was a criminal and the encounter was in self-defense. However, Tiwari's family and some locals have questioned the police's claims, calling it a fake encounter. Demands for an investigation into the matter have also been raised.

Abhyanand's statement indicates his skepticism regarding the transparency and process of this encounter. He emphasized that such incidents require full accountability and clarity to maintain public trust in the police. The former DGP's remarks certainly underscore the need for further investigation and clarification in this case. It remains to be seen how the police and administration respond to these questions and if a high-level inquiry into the matter is ordered.
