Viquar Ahmed's killing: Family alleges fake encounter

The father of a slain terror operative Viquar Ahmed alias Ali Khan, today lodged a complaint with Nalgonda Police alleging the escort party and higher police officials of killing his son and four others in a "fake encounter" on April 7.
Mohammed Ahmed lodged the complaint with Alair Police Station, and sought for initiating necessary action, a police officer said.
"A General Diary (GD) Entry has been made following the complaint. No case has been registered as legal opinion has been sought on the same," Alair Police Station Sub-Inspector P Raghvender told PTI.
Ahmed had earlier termed the killing of Viquar and his four associates as "police murder".

The five undertrials--Viquar, Syed Amjad Ali, Mohammed Zakir, all residents of Hyderabad, Mohammed Haneef alias Dr Haneef, a native of Ahmedabad and Izhar Khan, a native of Uttar Pradesh--were shot dead by police on April 7 when they allegedly tried to escape from a police van near Tangutur under Alair Police Station limits in Nalgonda district, while being taken to a court in Hyderabad.
According to police, Viquar Ahmed asked to stop the van to attend nature's call. After returning to the van, he snatched the Insas rifle of one of the police constables and opened fire. The other four also tried to snatch weapons of accompanying policemen, and were killed when the police fired in self defence.

The five had formed a radical terrorist organisation called Tahreek Galba-e-Islam (TGI). Police earlier said they were involved in four incidents of firing on police (killing three cops and injuring four others) in Hyderabad and Ahmedabad.
On April 8, a case of attempt to murder and other relevant offences under the IPC and the Arms Act was registered against the five alleged terror operatives.
Viquar was also associated with the radical fundamentalist organisation Darsgah-e-Jihad-o-Shahadath (DJS) and had taken part in several terrorist activities since 2002, police had said.
