New Delhi : Congress leaders Husain Dalwai on Friday criticized the encounter of the four accused in Telangana vet’s rape and murder case saying that taking of the law into the hands by police cannot be supported.
“The encounter is wrong and cannot be supported. Police taking the law into their own hand and destroying it cannot be supported,” he said and demanded an inquiry into it.
“No matter, how grave a crime one has committed but Police taking law in their hand and killing them cannot be supported,” he added.
Asked that several people are supporting the move, he said, “Is it ok just because it is being supported? Even lynchings are supported, when Muslims and Dalits are killed, that is also supported…is that lawful? I cannot support this.” The Congress leader stressed that the punishment should be served as per law.
Earlier today, all the four accused in the rape and murder of a woman veterinarian in Telangana were killed in an encounter with police.
