The Supreme Court on Thursday appointed a three-member committee to investigate the encounter. The committee consists of retired judge VS Sirpurkar, Rekha (former CJ of Bombay high court), former CBI officer Karthikeyan.

The committee which is being led by VS Sirpurkar has been accorded CRPF security and the case will be investigated in Hyderabad. The court directed the committee to finish the investigation and submit a report within six weeks. Further, the court asked to restrict media and social media in the case.
