Karnataka Shootout: A Magisterial Inquiry Ordered<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a shocking incident that has left many questioning the actions of forest officials, three suspected poachers were killed in a shootout in Hanur, Chamarajanagar. The Karnataka government has now ordered a magisterial inquiry into the incident, which has sparked widespread debate and raised questions about the handling of the situation.<\/p>\n

The Incident Unfolds<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to Karnataka Minister Ramalinga Reddy, four people were allegedly found carrying unlicensed guns and bags containing deer meat in the reserve forest area under Hanur taluk. The minister revealed that the four individuals, identified as Antony Swamy, John Rose Peter, Kumar bin Sawariyappan, and Mahim Das, were spotted by forest officials in the early hours of the morning. The forest officials, who were on patrol duty, claimed that they shot in self-defense after the suspects allegedly threatened them.<\/p>\n

Minister’s Statement<\/strong><\/p>\n

Minister Reddy stated that the government will take action against forest officials if any mistakes were committed on their part. He emphasized that the government will not tolerate any wrongdoing and will ensure that justice is served. “We will not tolerate any mistakes by our officials,” he said. “If any mistakes were committed, we will definitely take action.”<\/p>\n

Chief Minister’s Response<\/strong><\/p>\n

Karnataka Chief Minister DK Shivakumar also weighed in on the incident, stating that a magistrate-led investigation has been ordered into the Hanur shootout. The Chief Minister emphasized that the complete facts of the incident will be known only after the probe. “We will wait for the report of the magisterial inquiry to know the actual position,” he said.<\/p>\n

Murder Complaint Lodged<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the wife of one of the deceased has lodged a murder complaint against forest officials. The Hanur police have registered a case under Section 103(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023. The FIR has been forwarded to the Additional Civil Judge (Junior Division) and JMFC Court in Kollegala.<\/p>\n
