| 3 Acid Attackers Shot Dead |
| 2008-12-14 |
| In a new turn in the case involving acid attack on two engineering girl students, police have shot dead the three accused boys, claiming the police party was attacked by them. The main suspect Srinivas and accomplice Sanjay and Harikrishna were shot dead when they allegedly attacked the police party which went to recover a motor cycle used by them in the incident at Mavunoor on Friday night, district Superintendent of Police Sajjanar said. The police action comes in the wake of a huge public outcry over the acid attack in which the faces of the two girls were disfigured and they were in a critical condition. Two police officials were suspended on Friday for failing to act promptly on a complaint by the father of one of the girls who is battling for life after being subjected to acid attack by a jilted lover in Warangal district of Andhra Pradesh. On Friday, home minister K Jana Reddy was gheraoed by angry activists of women organisations when he visited the private hospital where Swapnika, a final year B Tech student and her friend are undergoing treatment. Swapnika and Pranitha were injured when Srinivas threw acid while they were going home on a bike last on Wednesday. |

| #3 Should have been given a loud public trial, and sent away with the approbation of society. Instead they got the quick and easy RAB treatment, with no annoying loose ends that might force societal change. |
