A Mother's Quest for Justice: The Alleged Encounter of Aman Sao

Aman Sao, a reputed gangster in Jharkhand, was killed in a police encounter on March 11, raising questions and sparking a legal battle initiated by his mother, Kiran Devi. She has approached Jharkhand High Court, demanding a CBI probe into what she claims was a premeditated murder disguised as a legitimate police encounter.

Kiran Devi has accused several high-ranking officials, including the Union Home Ministry, CBI director, and Jharkhand's top police authorities, of orchestrating a conspiracy against her son. Aman Sao, she insists, was wrongly branded a gangster and consistently targeted by law enforcement, leading to multiple false allegations and eventual imprisonment.

The case takes a dark turn as Kiran Devi presents photographs of her son's body bearing severe, unexplained burn marks. Her lawyer, Hemant Kumar Shikarwar, labels the incident a 'well-planned homicide' rather than an encounter, further accusing the ATS team of habitual fake encounters under the leadership of Pramod Kumar Singh. The drama unfolds amid allegations of police brutality and systemic bias within the state's criminal justice framework.
