MP encounter: Police maintain Khan was dismissed from Army

Bhopal: Two weeks after the alleged fake encounter of Amjad Khan, the Madhya Pradesh police on Sunday said the 33-year-old had been dismissed from the Army after a court martial.
Khan, a Congress worker, was killed along with three other alleged dacoits in Baknasa in Bhind district in the wee hours of August 22 after what the police claimed was an exchange of fire.
Though some villagers living near the area claimed to have heard a few gunshots they doubted the police version that more than 70 rounds had been fired.
The family members of those killed alleged that the encounter was staged and that they were killed elsewhere before being brought to Baknasa.
Khan's wife Yasmeen, a president of Mahila Congress's Lahar Block unit, had alleged that he was wearing different clothes on August 19, when the police took him away from home, than those found on his body.
