8 SIMI activists killed in MP: An encounter or cold-blooded murder?
The author is part of the digital communication team of the Congress party. In a series of tweets, Pandhi raises crucial questions on the killing of 8 activists of the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) by the Madhya Pradesh police.
Here is a short clip of #BhopalEncounter site where SIMI operatives were gunned down and some observations now at the end of the day. (1/12) pic.twitter.com/W9tyl9d1so

The BJP Govt is wrongly calling them terrorists. They were terror suspects, under trial, like Purohit, Pragya Thakur, Aseemanad. (2/12)

How come 8 terror suspects got together to plan the jailbreak from MP’s most high security prison? Were they all in a single cell? (3/12)

The 8 suspects got together in jail, escaped together, ran together & didn’t split even after hours and were thus, shot down together (4/12)

MP Home Minister said that the suspects didn’t have any weapons & they used ‘utensils’ as weapons and it was imp to kill them. Really?(6/12)

The IG however said that suspects were carrying weapons. Fair enough, so where are those weapons? Not displayed as always it is done? (7/12)

Did the suspects had weapons at the time of jailbreak and if not, where did they get the weapons from? Who help them obtaining/ when? (8/12)

In the video (1st tweet), a cop pulls out a sharp & broad knife from under the "front of jeans" of a suspect - like in the movies. (9/12)
— Gaurav Pandhi (@GauravPandhi) October 31, 2016
Who the hell keeps such a large knife in the front and runs & hide - even move a bit - without getting injured? Seriously! (10/ 12)
— Gaurav Pandhi (@GauravPandhi) October 31, 2016
What is not seen in video is any trace of weapons.
— Gaurav Pandhi (@GauravPandhi) October 31, 2016
Or is it that cops recovered all of it and then shot again as is seen in video? (12/12)
13) The new video on @IndiaToday shows unarmed SIMI men, no weapons, moments before encounter, cops asking what should we do with them.

15) Here is 2nd video where SIMI men can be seen UNARMED. Cops acknowledge they want to talk, yet they're shot at (in next video)? Why? pic.twitter.com/TyDhrphQwm
