The father of one of the five undertrial prisoners gunned down last week by the police in Telangana has approached the high court, seeking a CBI probe into his killing.
Mohammed Ahmed, father of Viquar Ahmed, filed a petition in the Hyderabad High Court on Wednesday, seeking directions to the Telangana government to order a probe by the CBI.
Alleging that his son and four others were murdered in cold blood by police, Ahmed pleaded that a First Information Report (FIR) be registered against 17 policemen in connection with the April 7 incident.
Ahmed said he on Saturday lodged a complaint at Aler police station in Nalgonda district but the police did not register the case.
Viquar and four others, all accused in the killing of two policemen, were shot dead by a police team near Aler on April 7 while they were being brought to Hyderabad from the Warangal Central Jail.
Police claimed that the policemen escorting the undertrials had to open fire as they tried to snatch weapons and flee.
