“Naxalite leader A. Varghese who was shot dead in a fake encounter.”
Inscrutable are the ways of the Almighty. How else would a policeman, who shot a Naxalite leader several decades ago, and was leading a retired life, come out in the open and make a confession knowing full well that it could land him in trouble?
