Kishalay Bhattacharjee
This is an anonymous confession by an army officer, to the investigative journalist Kishalay Bhattacharjee, about “encounters” staged by the army in the north-east. Bhattacharjee supplements this reporting with an essay, and a postscript in which bureaucrats and diplomats speak on the record about a secret policy of extra-judicial killings, and how it threatens India’s democracy.
