Madhya Pradesh Director General of Police (DGP) Vivek Johri has formed a four-member panel to probe the alleged killing of a tribal man from neighbouring Chhattisgarh by the MP police in Balaghat district.

Assistant Inspector General, CID Sunil Shivhare will head the panel that will probe the September 6 incident.

Other members of the panel are CID DSP Nitesh Bhargava, inspector D K Markam and sub inspector Kapil Gupta, an official at the Police Headquarters here said.
