Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel has promised strict action against the responsible personnel for the alleged 2012 Sarkeguda encounter. Talking to reporters on Monday, he said that strict action will be taken against whoever is responsible for this. The process is for filing (the report of the Judicial Commission) before the Legislative Assembly and then it will be investigated by the Law Department. The Chief Minister said that there is no question of sparing anyone in the case. He further said that after this a committee will be formed which will decide against whom action should be taken.

According to the media report, the chief minister's remarks came after a one-member judicial commission prompted security forces to kill 17 people, including seven minors, in Sarkeguda village in Bijapur district of Chhattisgarh in June 2012. The Commission said that no firing was done by villagers and no evidence was found nor it was proved that they were Naxalites.
