New Delhi: Two petitions have been filed in the Supreme Court seeking registration of an FIR and compensation to the families of the four accused killed in an ‘encounter’ in the case of the rape and murder of a 25-year-old veterinarian in Hyderabad.
Petitioner G.S. Mani sought directions for the registration of an FIR and then an investigation by the CBI, SIT, CID or a team of police officials from another state into the ‘encounter’.
The petition urged the apex court that an independent investigation agency must be directed in the fake encounter killing.
In another petition, advocate Manohar Lal Sharma said that the encounter was allegedly done due to the demands of political leaders, and the media raising a hue and cry seeking the immediate execution of the accused without a trial. (IANS)
