Issuing notice to Govt. of Telangana, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has sought report on the incident. In a statement Commission stated “The Commission has also observed that from the news report, it transpires that at the time of the incident, at least four of the under trials were inside the van duly guarded by the accompanying policemen. Prima facie, it appears that this is an instance of blatant use of disproportionate force resulting in loss of lives of five under trials who were in judicial custody and gross violation of human rights.”
The commission has directed Chief Secretary and DGP Telangana to submit report within two weeks. NHRC informed that it will further take up the matter in its Camp Sitting to be held at Hyderabad on the April 23, 2015.
