Is this what is called when the Telangana police killed all the four accused involved in the rape and murder of veterinary doctor Priyanka Reddy in the wee hours on November 5?

The police have confirmed that accused had been taken to the spot of the crime to recreate crime scene when they tried to flee dodging the police. Police swung into action and all of them fell prey to the police bullet.

Encounter is the last thing that the police want to get indulged into as the ghost of it is still chasing the PM and the HM. But the higher officials of Telangana must be aware about every moment of the case in this high profile case. How evidence for fast track hearing has to be collected.

The top decision-makers sitting in Cyberabad are being lauded across the country for their administrative acumen which include Telangana DGP M Mahendar Reddy (IPS:1986), Chief Secretary Shailendra Kumar Joshi (IAS:1984), Home Secretary Ravi Gupta (IPS:) and Cyberabad Police Commissioner V C Sajjanar (IPS:1996) who was also involved in the operation that killed three accused in acid victim case in 2008. “Accused in Hyderabad rape-murder case killed in crossfire in wee hours," Sajjanar said. Chief minister K Chandrashekhar Rao is reportedly keeping a tab on every development in this regard.

The police will have to answer lots of questions as they could have been overpowered with police having vehicles at their disposal and accused did not possess any firearms. But it must also not be forgotten that had anyone of them would have fled, it would have been even more difficult for the police to defend itself looking at the anger of the people across the country.

Threadbare analysis of this police encounter will happen not only by the investigating agencies but even by court and media as well but at the moment people of the country are taking this development hand in hand and showering flower petals on the police of the state.
