Hyderabad July 30:Former Naxalite Bandi Ramesh, who joined the CPI (M), instigated the agitators at Mudigonda to hurl stones at private vehicles and police on Saturday, leading to the firing that killed six persons and injured several others, according to the preliminary findings of senior IPS officer and Additional Director General of Police (Co-ordination) Lokendra Sharma, who is conducting a departmental probe into the incident.
Sources in the State police headquarters told this newspaper that Mr Sharma, who is camping in Khammam, informed the findings to DGP M.A. Basith and additional Director General of Police (Law & Order ) A.K. Mohanty on Monday over phone.
Mr Sharma also informed that the district administration had failed to make proper bandobust, despite prior information that Ramesh was planning to create disturbance, the sources said.
Mr Sharma has reportedly questioned the officers and police personnel at the firing spot and recorded their statements. The police personnel reportedly told Mr Sharma that when the agitating mob turned violent, the situation had gone beyond control and additional superintendent of police M. Ramesh Babu reached the spot along with some policemen in plainclothes and ordered firing.
