SC-appointed Commission holds 2019 Telangana encounter fake

NEW DELHI/HYDERABAD: The Supreme Court-appointed inquiry commission, headed by Justice V S Sirpurkar, has found the 2019 encounter killing of four arrested accused in Disha rape-cum-murder case in Telangana as fake and fastened murder charges against all 10 policemen involved in the act.

"All 10 police officers - V Surender, K Narasimha Reddy, Shaik Lal Madhar, Mohammed Sirajuddin, Kocherla Ravi, K Venkateshwarulu, S Arvind Goud, D Janakiram, R Balu Rathod and D Srikanth— are to be tried for the offences under Section 302 read with 34 IPC, 201 read with 302 IPC and 34 IPC, as the analysis of evidence would show that the different acts committed by each of them were done in furtherance of common intention to kill the deceased suspects," the Commission said.
