Bhopal/New Delhi, Nov 2 (IBNS): Chief of Anti-Terror Squad of Madhya Pradesh police has said that the eight SIMI prisoners, who escaped from Bhopal Central Jail and were allegedly killed in a police encounter, did not have any weapons at the encounter spot, an exclusive NDTV report said on Wednesday.
NDTV has also said that this negates the comment by a senior police official who claimed the fleeing terrorists were carrying weapons.
