we have our share of bad brutal police. Tamil or anyone else such ruthless killing is unjustified even if they were smugglers.
To Indians Tamils lives is cheap, cheaper than a tree
Twenty people were gunned down in Andhra Pradesh's Chittoor district in a police operation said to be against red sanders smugglers that came under severe attack from the government and political parties in neighbouring Tamil Nadu, which claimed 12 victims were labourers from their state.
Human rights activists and a former AP deputy general of police also criticised the police action saying it was "disproportionate" to the crime.
A former DGP of Andhra Pradesh also disapproved of the firing saying, "it seems excessive and disproportionate" to the crime. "Even if they are smugglers you can't justify opening firing. It can't be a justification," he said.
Dismissing claims of Andhra Pradesh police that they opened fire in self-defence, he said "it was a plain lie" and demanded a probe by a sitting judge of the Supreme Court besides seeking relief to those killed and action against police officials.
