Separate probes into jailbreak, encounter begin

An SIT formed by Madhya Pradesh Police on Wednesday inspected the site of alleged encounter where 8 SIMI men were gunned down while a separate investigation began into the jailbreak by extremists by recreating the scene.

The CID team led by SP Anurag Sharma also examined some people about the encounter, which has come under scanner with opposition parties and the lawyer of the slain SIMI activists pointing to several alleged smoking guns to claim that it was fake. 

Former DGP Nandan Dubey, assigned by the state government with the task of investigating the daring jail break, visited the Central Jail here. The jail break scene was recreated as part of the probe and Dubey examined some prisoners also. "Yes I spent more than three hours in the jail. I have started the investigation," Dubey said.
