The Ganatantrik Adhikar Suraksha Sanghathan (GASS) has severely criticised the Hyderabad police for killing of four under-trial prisions, who were allegedly involved in the gangrape of a veterinary doctor, in an encounter on Friday early morning.
“By taking under-trials to a lonely place and shooting them to dead in the name of self-defense, the Hyderabad police have brought to fore the lacunas in our legal and judicial system. It is also very disappointing that Law Minister Pratap Jena and many elected people’s representatives at the Centre, who are empowered to make laws, have supported the move of the Hyderabad police. Their support is sheer disrespect to the Constitution,” alleged GASS president Dr Golak Bihari Nath and general secretary Deba Ranjan in a statement.
They demanded a CBI inquiry into the incident and expediting of the justice delivery system by reforming the judiciary. They too wanted that the police officials involved in the encounter should be dismissed from service and punished for the encounter as per law.
