WARANGAL: Three of the seven accused in the eleven-year-old girl ManishaÂ’s kidnap and murder case were killed in an encounter with the police in the wee hours of Wednesday at Thatikayala village in Dharmasagar mandal here.
| At the very village well where they killed the little girl and dumped her body. |
The three accused — Thokala Raju, L. Ashok and B. Naresh — were taken to the scene of offence by the police to reconstruct the case. As they reached the agricultural well on the outskirts of Thatikayala village, Thokala Raju snatched a 9 mm pistol from Circle Inspector K. Dakshinamurthy’s trousers and began firing even as he tried fleeing from the spot.
| So Raju had his hand in the Inspector's trousers? |
"He grabbed my gun and tried to get away. I never thought he had it in him, wearing those leg irons and his hands cuffed behind his back and all."
Taken aback by the sudden development, Sub-Inspector B. Ravinder and other policemen sprang into action and hit back.
| [BANG! BANG! BANGETY BANG!] |
The other two associates who tried to escape were also killed in the firing."Aaaaiiiieeee!" [THUD!]
"Aaaaiiiieeee!" [THUD!]
"Rosebud!"
"Rosebud!"
"They're dead, Jim!" |
| They got between Raju and the Sub-Inspector you see |
No, that's a 'crossfire'. This is a 'encounter', you don't have to explain entry wounds in the back.
| In a 'crossfire' the entry wounds are always behind the ears ... |
The shocked police officer Dakshinamurthy told newsmen that had they not been alert, the accused would have killed them.
| "Yeah. Really. Coulda banged the lot of us!" |
“I am shocked at the courage of Raju who chose to kill us and escape,” he said, sweating.
| An even more shocked Raju had his hand down his trousers |
| Raju was kinda shocked there at the end, too. |
Raju was a rowdy-sheeter accused on twelve systems in several cases including a double murder case in different police stations in the Warangal town. Another deceased in the encounter L. Ashok was a butcher by vocation. He was known to beat up his brother and other members of his family often. When the police caught him on Sunday evening, he was planning to murder his old rival.| Clearly a candidate for a preemptive encounter |
The police seized a sword from him. The third accused B. Naresh works as a ‘hamali’ and was involved in a road accident case. At the Thatikayala village, hundreds of people gathered at the encounter site to have a look at the bodies of the cruel men.| who won't be killing any more children |
