Hyderabad: Six activists of Hindu Vahini allegedly involved in the cases of attacks on Muslim youths after the Eid-ul-Azha in November last year have been granted bail by the Nampally Criminal Court as the Hyderabad City police failed to file a charge sheet against them in the time limit of 90 days.
Those activists were arrested by the task force team of commissioner of police specially formed to nab them, and then they all were booked under sec 307 of I.P.C (attempt to murder). Later government handed these cases to Special Investigation Team; from then on they were responsible for those cases.
Earlier the investigating agency had arranged an identification parade of the accused in Cherlapally jail after obtaining permission from the magistrate. All the accused were identified in the parade in the presence of a Magistrate.
Seventh Metropolitan Magistrate of Nampally Criminal Court granted bail to S.Sadanand-27 electrician by profession, Shakti Vinod-24, a driver, K.Unni Krishna-23, a junior artist, Pabha Bhargav-21, a degree student, S.V.Santosh-22, a fashion technology student, and P.Kalyan-26 a job seeker. Some of these Hindu Vahini activists are also accused in the murder of a Muslim auto driver in Tukaram Gate area of Secunderabad. The magistrate ordered them to pay the surety amount of Rs 10,000 each and to give attendance on every Wednesdays in the office of the investigating agency.
Nearly 8 Muslim youths were seriously injured in the attacks by Hindu Vahini activists, because they were angry on the cow slaughter which takes place during the Eid-ul-Azha in the city. Those continuous incidents on attacks on Muslims had brought the whole city on the verge of communal violence. After the arrest of those activists of right wing Hindu group police had claimed to solve the case entirely, and reiterated on acting strongly against those activists and organization to pacify Muslims in the city. But now with this act of police in not taking interest in filing a charge sheet even after three months shows how serious police is in tackling Hindu fundamentalism.
