Three people namely Ramakrishna and Balaswamy died in the police firing at Basheerbagh on August 28, 2000 during the TDP rule when a rally was organised from Indra Park to the Assembly by Opposition parties and civil society organisations protesting against the power tariff.
The then TDP government ordered for the police firing, which resulted in the death of protestors.
Some other protestors were also hurt in the incident. The CPM activists and leaders garlanded the portraits of the victims and remembered the brutal act of the then TDP Government.
