New Delhi: The Home Ministry has sought a report asking for all the facts in 2009 fake encounter case.

This came after a Manipur policeman confessed that he had killed a former PLA terrorist Sanjit Meitei in a fake encounter.

Probe teams would check the authenticity and decide on the next course of action.

Meanwhile, the pressure grows on government as NHRC has sought a report on the fake encounter case.

In an exclusive interview to CNN-IBN, the head constable, Herojit Singh, made the confessions on killing an unarmed Meitei in 2009.

According to Singh, he pumped bullets into the former PLA militant acting on orders from his senior, the then Additional Superintendent of Police in Imphal. He said that he shot at Meitei with a 9mm pistol on chest.

Singh also claimed that the Manipur DGP and Chief Minister were in the know, adding that now he fears for his life.

What's your reaction?
