The Congress today alleged that Chhattisgarh police organised the wedding of Naxalites accused in the Jiram Valley attack of 2013 in the state, a charge denied by officials.

Leader of opposition in the assembly T M Singhdev told reporters in Raipur that police in the Bastar district headquarters had organised the wedding of the accused in the Jiram Valley attack.

Slamming the alleged move, he asked whether the Naxalites were 'being rewarded' through such actions.

"This was an irresponsible action on the part of police and the state government. It is condemnable," he charged.

"Innocent and unarmed people were killed in the Jiram attack. Nobody who was involved in the attack deserves any sympathy," added Singhdev.

Meanwhile, IG Dipanshu Kabra said that while former Naxalite Podiyami Laxman's marriage was organised by Bastar police with Kosi Markam, a surrendered ultra, on January 16, police officials in Bastar have told him that the duo were not involved in the Jiram attack.
