‘My statement is incorrect’, panel on Disha case told
The Hindu
Signed on all papers without reading as they threatened me: SOT head constable
“Mee officers e chesyaru, nuvu enta? (When your officers have signed, who are you to refuse?)
This is what the officials of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) had told the Cyberabad Special Operations Team’s head constable Mohammed Sirajuddin when he resisted to sign on his ‘incorrect’ statement recorded by the NHRC in December 2019.
During his deposition before the Supreme Court-constituted three-member commission to inquire into the alleged encounter killings of the four accused in the rape and murder of Disha by Telangana police on December 6, 2019, Mr. Sirajuddin, who was part of the armed escort, told the panel on Friday that he had put his signature on all the papers of his statement without reading as they ‘threatened’ him to sign.
