TV9 SPECIAL: 'Hubballi Huliya': Vishwanath Sajjanar, Cyberabad Police Commissioner Who Led 4 Rape Accused Encounter In Hyderabad Hails From Hubli..,

HUBBALLI: Vishwanath Sajjanar, the Commissioner of Cyberabad, is not new to 'encounters'.

He was previously involved in the Warangal 'encounter' of December 13, 2008, where three youths, allegedly involved in the acid attack on two girls, were shot dead.

The Express reported that 'encounter' thus: The police, under pressure for failing to act in time to prevent the acid attack, claimed they were forced to fire at the trio - Shakamuri Srinivasa Rao (25), Potharaju Harikrishna (22) and Bajjuri Sanjay (22) - in 'self-defence'.

Even then there were many who cheered the actions of Sajjanar and the cops as our report noted: Hundreds of people, including girl students, employees and senior citizens, visited the encounter site and expressed their happiness at the killings. "They should have been killed in a public place. They got what they deserved," the locals said.

Social media posts reposed confidence on the “Sajjanar style of justice”.

In February 2004, while Sajjanar was Kadapa SP, he had led an operation in which a notorious offender Tamalapakula Sudhakar Reddy was gunned down.

He was an accused in crimes against women.

In 2010, Bhikku Pawar, who had killed a constable in Medak, was gunned down by the police. Sajjanar was the Medak SP at the time.

Thursday, December 6, 2019, was no different.

The actions of Sajjanar and his team have again been hailed by many, even as others like lawyer Rebecca John have questioned it, wondering "did we even have enough evidence to suggest they (the four accused) committed the crime?"
