Hyderabad encounter sets dangerous precedent
| | | | | | | On Friday morning, as television channels recreated the Hyderabad ‘encounter’ scene, the man behind the scenes was V.C. Sajjanar, the Commissioner of Police, Cyberabad, who is in charge of investigating the young veterinarian’s rape and murder case. While Hyderabad’s ‘Justice for Disha’ protesters celebrate the news of the extrajudicial killing, which is currently being perceived as “quick justice”, Sajjanar is being lauded for not just one ‘encounter’ but two. In 2008, Sajjanar, who was Superintendent of Police, Warangal, was in charge of investigating an acid attack case which had led to massive protests across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana (one state at the time). The Warangal encounter is back in public memory, especially as the method that the police adopted for “evidence collection” seems to be similar. |
