SHRC seeks report from Khammam Police
The State Human Rights Commission (SHRC) on Friday directed the Khammam police to submit a report over the incident in which 10 farmers, accused of vandalism, were brought to a court by police allegedly in handcuffs.
Hyderabad: The State Human Rights Commission (SHRC) on Friday directed the Khammam police to submit a report over the incident in which 10 farmers, accused of vandalism, were brought to a court by police allegedly in handcuffs.
Ten chilli farmers, who were arrested for allegedly vandalising the Khammam Agriculture Market Yard office on April 28, were produced in the court in Khammam town in handcuffs on Thursday.
Advocate T Rajnikanth Reddy on Friday filed a petition in the SHRC, seeking a thorough inquiry into the incident. Based on advocate's plea, the SHRC here asked the Khammam District Superintendent of Police to submit a report by June 5.
In his petition, Rajinikanth Reddy said, "Police handcuffing the chilli farmers and producing them before the court violated their fundamental rights." "It is highly shocking that the poor farmers were brought to the court handcuffed.
The farmers had brought chilli to Khammam market yard hoping to sell the produce for a better price, however, there was sudden drop in prices," the plea said. Handcuffing is in violation of the rules and the Supreme Court guidelines, he added.
