Register murder cases against cops: APCLC

Hyderabad, Oct 24: The Andhra Pradesh Civil Liberties Council (APCLC) and Human Rights Forum (HRF) today demanded that the Vishakhapatnam police should register cases against the policemen involved in the killing of two persons in 'fake enounter.' Addressing the press here, APCLC state Joint Secretary B Suresh alleged that Anil and Brahmam were killed in fake encounter by the police without registering cases against them after taking them into custody in connection with the murder of bank official K K Prasad recently.

Demanding that the government order a probe into Prasad's murder by an independent agency and register murder cases against the policemen involved in the encounter, he said the Fact Finding Committee of the Rights Forum had raised doubts on the encounter, after conducting a study.

Alleging that the Visakhapatnam Police Commissioner Sabmasiva Rao had 'abused' the rights members when they went to meet him in connection with the encounter, HRF city secretary K Murali demanded that the government should suspend the Police Commissioner immediately.
