Hyderabad, May 15: AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi on Wednesday demanded the state government to order a judicial inquiry by appointing a sitting High Court judge into the incidents that have taken place in the Mohammedabad area of Kishanbagh, including the unwarranted police firing resulting in three deaths.
Condemning the incident, in a letter addressed to the Governor, he alleged that the police, including the central para-military forces, had taken the law into their own hands and instead of using lathi-charge, teargas shells or rubber bullets, they directly opened fire on the Muslim youth.
He said that it was also not clear who had ordered the police firing and whether the central para-military forces had acted on the advice of  the local police or obtained the order for firing from a magistrate.
He urged the Governor to direct the DGP to take stringent action against the police personnel by registering FIR against them.
