A special NIA court in Jagdalpur convicted 10 cadres for the 2013 Jhiram Ghati ambush that killed top Chhattisgarh Congress leaders. Congress state chief Deepak Baij said the verdict was 'half-baked justice' and alleged the NIA shielded political conspirators and Maoist commanders.

A special National Investigation Agency (NIA) court in Jagdalpur has convicted 10 cadres for their role in the May 2013 Jhiram Ghati ambush, which virtually wiped out the top leadership of the Chhattisgarh Congress. The verdict was delivered on Saturday.
Chhattisgarh Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) Chief Deepak Baij reacted by calling the verdict "half-baked justice." He said the party respects the court's decision, but alleged that the NIA systematically derailed the probe to shield political conspirators and senior Maoist commanders. He added that an attack of such magnitude could not have been orchestrated without the involvement of top-tier Maoist leaders.
