Markam asked the minister to disclose the actual age of

the boy and details of cases registered against him.

Netam also asked which Naxal `dalam' the boy was from.

Paikra said Somaru's age, as per his ration card issued in 2013, was 16, so he must have been 20 years old now. No criminal case was registered against him but he was a member of a Naxal militia, said the minister.

It was not known if he suffered from speech and hearing impairment, the minister added.

Congress MLAs asked how was he branded a Naxal if there was no case against him, and whether the government would pay compensation to his relatives.

Paikra said further action would be taken when the report of magisterial inquiry comes.

Leader of Opposition T S Singhdeo said the ration card can not establish age. If the encounter was proved to be fake, would the government give any financial aid to the family, the Congress leader asked.

The minister maintained that government was waiting for the inquiry report.

Not satisfied, Congress members staged a walk-out.
