The Chhattisgarh government has launched an inquiry against deputy jailer of Raipur jail, Varsha Dongre, for her Facebook post in which she had alleged that Naxalism will not end because a “capitalist system is being imposed in Bastar” with tribals being pushed out of their lands. She had uploaded the post on Facebook after the recent Maoist attack in Sukma in which 25 CRPF personnel were killed. Senior government officials said that a team under DIG (Jail) K K Gupta has been formed to look into Dongre’s post. “The CM (Raman Singh) had also asked officials to refrain from making such personal remarks. She is aware of the rules in this regard, and will be asked to present her case before the inquiry team,” a senior government official said.
