HYDERABAD: The four accused in the 2019 Disha rape and murder case were killed in a fake encounter while in police custody and the 10 cops involved in it should be booked for murder, the Supreme Court-appointed commission to inquire into the killings has said in its report submitted to the apex court. It also concluded that three of the four accused were minors while holding the cops responsible for destroying or withholding evidence.
In its 387-page report, submitted to the Supreme Court in February, the three-member commission headed by Justice V S Sirpurkar concluded that "the accused were deliberately fired upon with an intent to cause death and with the knowledge that the firing would invariably result in death".
