The alleged encounter killing of four suspects in the gang-rape and murder case of a veterinarian in Hyderabad in 2019 is not the only incident where fingers have been pointed out at the police, with there being several other such instances including the 2009 Dehradun encounter case that left an MBA student dead and the 1997 Connaught Place shootout in which two people were killed.
Recently, a three-member inquiry commission headed by a retired Supreme Court judge on the Hyderabad encounter submitted that the firing by the police personnel was allegedly deliberate and that three of the deceased were minor at the time of death.
Some of the other encounters where police officials have been found on the wrong side of the law either by a commission or a court, include that of Sadiq Jamal, who was shot dead by Gujarat Police.
