A comment of Tirupur collector K Vijayakarthikeyan on Twitter, supporting Hyderabad police's ‘encounter’ of four accused in a rapeand-murder case sparked a debate on social media on Friday.
Vijayakarthikeyan had congratulated the Hyderabad police on Twitter soon after the ‘encounter’ took place. Later, when some people pointed out that the so-called ‘encounter’ can turn out to be extra-judicial killing, he defended the Hyderabad police saying the four accused had attempted to snatch the weapons from the police and run away, and so they were gunned down.
Reacting to the news of the encounter, Vijakarthikeyan tweeted, “Kudos Kudos #HyderabadPolice! @hydcitypolice #ChummaKizhi #JusticeFor-Disha”.
Reacting to it, a tweeter user named Naveen Kumar replied, “Sir Extrajudicial encounter killings and mob lynching are the same .Do you supporting these encounters?” To this, the collector replied, ‘Personally I’m ok with this for this case. Anyways they ‘tried to escape’ and police were forced to open fire”.
Soon, others joined the debate. Another user, identifying as Maverick Manoj, replied, “Sir whatever it is. you shouldn’t not encourage these kind of things. Public and we can praise this incident. But you’re in a position that should not pass comments like this.” One more user pointed out that the accused were yet to be found guilty by the court of law.
Vijayakarthikeyan, however, said that he was entitled to his personal opinion like any other Indian citizen and added that the four tried to snatch the weapons of the police and run away. “We should let them shoot the police and escape? And post #RIPPolice and sad smileys ?’’ he asked.
