The official version of the encounter is that security forces -- the Army, police, and CRPF had all taken part in the "encounter" -- had come under heavy fire, after which the two militants had been shot dead. And that a number of weapons were recovered from them.
But in his report, Rai says the two men had been picked up earlier and killed in cold blood.
