The DPP issued a statement on Tuesday, saying suspects in the Shakahola massacre have a case to answer and will be arraigned.
The charges range from heinous crimes under the Penal Code to offences outlined in the Prevention of Terrorism Act, 2012, and the Prevention of Organized Crimes Act, 2010.
They include murder, manslaughter, assault, engaging in an organised criminal activity, radicalisation, facilitating terrorist acts, and possessing articles connected with offences under anti-terrorism laws.
