Union Minister Defends Police Action in Bharat Tiwari Encounter Case

The Bharat Tiwari encounter case is constantly being talked about. Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi has been giving statements in support of the police since the beginning. He has raised many questions about Bharat Tiwari. Where did the pistol come from, there was a case of SC-ST on him, and now he has made a big statement once again. On Friday (July 03, 2026), he posted from his X handle and said a lot. On X, he has written, "Bharat Tiwari's encounter was done with the intention of killing. The police fired in self-defense. A judicial commission of inquiry has been formed for that. Let the commission's report come. It is not right to say that Bharat Tiwari has been killed without a report." He further writes, "If the people involved in the government feel that Bharat Tiwari has been killed, then what is the need to form a commission, dissolve the commission and hang Bharat Tiwari."
