Fake Encounters in Andhra and Telangana:
Rabid State Terror
CHENNAI
8-04-2015

         The startling incidents of killing of 25 men, to be the result of police firing in ‘self defence’ are reported from the states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. One is reported to have happened in the Seshachalam forest at the foot of the Tirumala hills in Nellore District of Andhra Pradesh in which 20 workers from Tamil Nadu had been killed. The next incident was from Telangana where hand cuffed detainees, who were kept under judicial custody and were being brought to court with armed escort, were shot dead inside a prison vehicle by the police.
       These killings have evident signature of the  ‘fake encounter’ killings that the police and the task force used to carry out , this time all the more obvious, and have attracted wide and intense protests. The attitude of the central and state forces and the ruling regimes look to be abetters to this cold blooded crime.
       The party severely condemns this act of rabid state terror and calls for democratic forces to rally against the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana governments’ dastardly action; and demands comprehensive transparent inquiry keeping all the involved uniformed men under immediate suspension from office.
