Hyderabad police chief rubbishes claims made by former Bodhan MLA

The Panjagutta police rubbished the claims made by former Bodhan MLA Shakeel Aamir in a video message pertaining to his son Raheem Aamir’s involvement in two accident cases.

The cases were booked by the Jubilee Hills police for an accident wherein a two-month-old baby was killed in March 2022, and another case booked by the Panjagutta police in December 2023. 

Hyderabad City Police Commissioner K. Sreenivasa Reddy said that in the Panjagutta accident, it was found out that the then Inspector of Panjagutta police allowed manipulation of the investigation records to shield the actual driver of the crime vehicle in collusion with the accused persons.

“In that case, based on the evidence, it was found that Raheel Aamir drove the car, committed the crime, escaped from the police custody, and absconded by flying abroad within a few hours. Mr Shakeel is also one of the accused persons as the investigation revealed his influence on the police officers to manipulate the investigation and shield his son,” said the official.

During the course of investigation in the said case, credible information was received that similar manipulations took place in the investigation of a fatal road accident case reported by Jubilee Hills police in 2022. 

“That case has been reopened and is being investigated further as per law after obtaining permission for the same from the concerned court of law as certain facts and circumstances surfaced indicating perfunctory investigation done earlier,” added the official.

In that case, one of the three persons travelling in the car was chargesheeted by the then investigating officer saying he surrendered and confessed the offence before the police. The case was undertrial.
