Killing of sexual assault accused in police custody, allegedly in response of open fire by accused, has ignited political slugfest in Badlapur Encounter Case, raising speculation of fake encounter.
Hitting out at ruling Mahayukti government, opposition accused the alleged retaliatory firing from police an attempt to destroy evidence as the school belonged to a BJP leader.
Death of school sexual assault accused Akshay Shinde in an encounter has set the political temperature of Maharashtra soaring, asking ‘how can a handcuffed accused open fire’.
According to the police, was being taken to Badlapur from Taloja jai by vehicle when he snatched assistant inspector’s pistol and opened fire on police team injuring three cops.
Former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh, questioning police theory, asked how can a handcuffed accused open fire?
“When both the hands of Akshay Shinde were tied, how could he fire the bullet? The school in question is owned by a BJP leader. There have been attempts from the beginning to suppress this incident and the matter has been closed by the encounter. This incident should be investigated by a retired High Court judge,” Deshmukh said.
Further more Congress leader, Prithviraj Chavan described it as a ‘cold blood murder’.
“He was murdered in cold blood. Nobody will believe that it was an encounter. I have demanded an inquiry from the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, who was in Mumbai at the same time. I don’t believe Maharashtra Police under the current dispensation will be able to do justice. The real perpetrators of this crime will never be found,” Chavan said.
