The Madhya Pradesh government has authorized the Central Bureau of Investigation to examine the 2019 police encounter in Narsinghpur that resulted in the deaths of Vijay Yadav and Sameer Khan.
In 2019, a police encounter in the town of Narsinghpur, Madhya Pradesh, ended with the fatal shooting of two individuals identified as Vijay Yadav and Sameer Khan. The incident quickly became a subject of public debate and media scrutiny across the state.
On November 4, the state government issued a Gazette notification formally consenting to a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the encounter. The notification signals the government's willingness to hand over the case to the premier investigative agency for an independent review.
The CBI has been tasked with re‑examining the operational details, the chain of command, and any possible procedural lapses that may have occurred during the 2019 confrontation. While the agency has not disclosed a timeline, officials indicated that the investigation will follow standard CBI protocols for high‑profile police encounters.
