Bhaiyalal Bhotmange, whose four family members were tortured and murdered at Khairlanji in Bhandara district in September 2006, today asked Maharashtra government to hand over the land promised by it in the aftermath of the killings, which sparked nationwide protests.

Bhotmange, who met Home Minister R R Patil, told reporters at the Vidhan Bhawan that he was yet to get the promised land. Patil spoke to Social Justice minister Shivajirao Moghe and asked him to do the needful.

Bhotmange also demanded a "competent" lawyer to represent the CBI in the Supreme Court on its appeal against the Bombay High Court's decision to commute the death sentence of six convicts in the Khairlanji killings.
