Verdict in 2013 Jhiram Ghati massacre deferred to September 5
A Special NIA Court in Jagdalpur has postponed its verdict in the 2013 Jhiram Ghati massacre case to September 5. The attack, carried out by armed Maoists on a Congress Party convoy, killed 31 people, including senior party leaders.
A Special National Investigation Agency (NIA) Court in Jagdalpur, Bastar, has deferred its verdict in the 2013 Jhiram Ghati massacre case to September 5. The final arguments in the trial concluded on August 12, and the court had been expected to deliver its judgment on August 31.
The case relates to an attack on May 25, 2013, when a Congress Party convoy, part of the 'Parivartan Yatra', was returning from a rally in Sukma and was ambushed by armed Maoists in the dense forests of the Jhiram valley in Chhattisgarh. The attack occurred ahead of the state assembly elections and killed 31 people, including the entire top-tier leadership of the Congress party, according to the report.
At the time of the attack, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was in power in Chhattisgarh, with Raman Singh as Chief Minister. The trial spanned 13 years and involved 101 witnesses. The postponement of the verdict has extended the anxiety of victim families, political circles, and citizens across Bastar.
