AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi on Wednesday took exception to the response of Cyberabad police to a tweet about whether it has done any background check over alleged "Jihadis" working in US software firms here.
The Hyderabad MP wanted the police to clarify its reply to a tweet by a man who claimed many "wannabe Jihadis" work for American software companies in Hyderabad.
Citing Iran's threat to hit US assets, the man wanted to know if the Hyderabad, Cyberabad and Rachakonda police did any background check of "these peacefuls" or if they were clueless.
Responding to the tweet, the Cyberabad police said, "Yes sir... We have specialised wings for collection of advance intel and our teams are on the job 24X7.
Thanks for alerting us. Please keep us updated if you find anything suspicous."
In an obvious reference to the killing of four accused in the rape and murder of a woman veterinarian near here by the Cyberabad police last month, Owaisi said there should not be any such killings in the name of "encounter."
