The CRPF gave this response while refusing to share its inquiry report into the incident with an RTI applicant.
Human rights activist Venkatesh Nayak had sought the report, saying the massacre violated the human rights of those killed in April this year.
The force is exempted from making disclosures under the RTI Act unless the information sought pertains to allegations of human right violations and corruption.
The CRPF also said the report also could not be shared because it contained operational details.

Nayak said the murderous attack by the ultras amounted to a violation of their human rights by "non-State actors" and by denying this "reality", the CRPF may be doing injustice to its own personnel.
He added that the government's attitude towards such incidents had to be questioned.
"Why does the government and in this case, the CRPF, fight shy of treating these attacks as 'human right violations' of their personnel? Surely, there must be a reason for it," he said.
Nayak said if such attacks causing the deaths of security personnel were not treated as violations committed by non- State actors, why should right activists be portrayed as "villains", even though they always condemn such incidents.
The CRPF played a pivotal role in curbing militancy in Punjab during the 1980s and insurgency in Tripura during 1990s. Today, more than one third of the force is deployed in left-wing extremist affected areas to control extremism.
