Telangana's history of encounter deaths and the cop

December 06, 2019 14:32

Telangana has two other encounter deaths of note, apart from the deaths of the four rape accused today.

On April 7, 2015, five persons associated with SIMI and other radical organisations were shot dead by the Telangana Police after the former allegedly attacked the police escort while being brought to Hyderabad for a court hearing, at the border of Nalgonda-Warangal districts, 100 km away from Hyderabad.

In 2008, Warangal police shot dead three persons accused of throwing acid on two girls. Police had claimed that the three accused in the sensational acid attack case were shot dead in self-defence as they had tried to attack the police and escape.

Cyberabad Police Commissioner VC Sajjanar, who is handling the Hyderabad rape case, led the 2008 action as the SP of Warangal.
