In a significant development, the Chhattisgarh High Court has ruled against Amit Jogi, son of former Chief Minister Ajit Jogi, declaring him a convict in the Ramavtar Jaggi murder case. The court has instructed Amit Jogi to surrender within three weeks. The case dates back to 2003 when Ramavtar Jaggi, a Nationalist Congress Party leader, was killed in Raipur.
Amit Jogi was acquitted earlier due to insufficient evidence, but the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) later submitted a detailed report with charges against him. Following legal proceedings, the Supreme Court directed the High Court to re-examine the case. The recent order for Amit Jogi to surrender comes after the High Court reopened the proceedings.
Reacting to the verdict, Amit Jogi expressed disappointment on social media, stating that he was not given a chance to be heard before the decision. He emphasized his belief in the judicial system and expressed confidence in receiving justice. The murder case, which had political implications during Ajit Jogi’s tenure as Chief Minister, involved multiple legal complexities and is now set for further legal actions.
