The numbers game the Hyderabad police play

It is quite clear that the Hyderabad city police has acted in a partisan manner. The open street brawl between the family members of chief minister YS Rajasekhar Reddy and former CLP leader P Janardhan Reddy has lowered the prestige of not only the Congress but also the Hyderabad city police.

Police are known to act in partisan manner. It is universally acknowledged truth. But they do it in a secretive manner so that people do not lose faith in them.

However, in this case they took sides with the chief minister's family. Both the family members filed cases against each other.

But the police had acted only on the complaint filed by the chief minister's family. There was no action on the case filed by PJR's family.

And pray tell what is the reason the police are coming out with to explain their strange partisan attitude?

The city police say that YSR's kin filed the complaint at 4.30 pm while PJR's kin filed the complaint at 9.30 pm. The difference is full five hours.

Since the family of YSR has filed the complaint at 4.30 pm, they have acted on this complaint first.

What a logic, my dear khaki men? Even if we go by your logic, you have acted on the 4.30 pm complaint since it was filed first, you should have arrested YSR's family members too, five hours later. Since the time gap between the two complaints is five hours.

If you are sincere in your argument and defence, you should have arrested YSR's family five hours after the arrest of PJR's son and his son-in-law.

This is the new numbers game the Hyderabad police wants to play. And whom are they fooling?
