Viqar's father refuse to claim bodies
Hyderabad, April 7 (INN): Describing the killing of five suspected militants as "day light murder", father of Viqaruddin, Mohammed Ahmed, announced that the families would not claim the bodies unless the Telangana Government order a CBI probe into the encounter.
It may be mentioned that five suspected militants - Viqaruddin Ahmed, Amjed Ali, Md Zaker, Md Haneef and Israr Khan, were shot down by the police at Alair in Nalgonda district while they were being brought from Warangal Jail to Nampally Court in Hyderabad on Tuesday morning. "They were in judicial custody for the last four years and never tried to escape. They were in the custody of about 18 policemen and handcuffed. Therefore, there was no question of them attempting to escape," he said.
He also informed that a petition was lodged in Nampally court seeking their transfer from Warangal Jail to either Cherlapally or Chanchalguda Central Prisons in Hyderabad. "The court was expected to give a favourable ruling at 2.30 PM today. Hence, the Telangana Police killed all five persons in a fake encounter," alleged Viqaruddin's father.
Informing that Viqaruddin was arrested in 2010 and was also kept in Gujarat jail for some time. He said that the court should have punished him and other suspects if they were really involved in any offence. However, the Telangana police took law into their hands and killed them in a 'cold blood murder'. He said that the family had expressed apprehensions in the past that Viqaruddin and others might be killed in a fake counter and had also approached the Human Rights Commission seeking their transfer to city jail. However, he said, the petition was ignored and the family's apprehensions came true. He said that the police took advantage of Nalgonda encounter wherein two alleged SIMI operatives were killed and executed the 'fake encounter' of Viqaruddin and others.
Ahmed announced that the families would not claim the dead bodies unless a CBI probe is ordered into the encounter.
