Special NIA Court Sentences All 10 Convicts to Death for 2013 Jhiram Valley Maoist Massacre
Thirteen years after a devastating ambush shook India’s political landscape, a special National Investigation Agency (NIA) court in Chhattisgarh sentenced all 10 convicts to death.
The tragic incident occurred on May 25, 2013, when heavily armed Maoists launched a brutal assault on a convoy carrying Congress leaders returning from a Parivartan Rally in Bastar’s Jhiram Valley.
Among those killed were prominent figures including state party chief Nand Kumar Patel, former Leader of the Opposition Mahendra Karma, and former Union Minister Vidya Charan Shukla.
Following a protracted legal trial involving nearly 300 hearings, the court pronounced the capital punishment for the accused—who include two women—marking a landmark closure to one of the deadliest chapters of left-wing extremism in the country.
