Hyderabad:<\/strong> The Telangana High Court has asked why majority of the victims of alleged police excesses during the lockdown were from a particular community, even as it observed that the counter affidavit filed by police in one of the pleas on their high-handedness lacked all relevant details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A bench, comprising Chief Justice Raghvendra Singh Chauhan and Justice B Vijaysen Reddy,asked in its observations whether a minority community was targeted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was hearing a batch of public interest litigation petitions on the alleged police excesses on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bench asked the city police and other respondents to submit a detailed report by June 29 in the particular petition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In its order in the petition, the court said the counter-affidavit filed by the city police commissioner lacked the relevant details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In one instance, according to the counter-affidavit, a departmental inquiry has been initiated against a sub- inspector of police, a SHO and an ACP, calling for explanation for failure to discharge their duties responsibly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The order said the subsequent development or progress in the departmental inquiries need to be informed to the court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The counter filed by the police said a person, who was allegedly assaulted by police, was not in fact assaulted by them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the police, he fell down while he was running away after noticing the police personnel approaching his area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But surprisingly, his injury report has not been submitted along with thecounter affidavit, the order said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In another incident, the petitioner alleged that the police personnel of a particular police station damaged vehicles parked outside homes in a residential area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The police affidavit claimsthe police had checked the vehicles “using police lathis in order to seewhether coronavirus was present or not.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expressing surprise over the police explanation, the court sought a complete report on the issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
