Khabrein New Desk New Delhi, May 24: Hyderabad Police has announced a cash reward of Rs 5 Lakh for information about the bomb blast in Hyderabad on Friday. The blast that killed 11 people during the Friday prayer in 17th century Makka Masjid was followed by police firing on unarmed protestors. The police firing killed half a dozen people and injured many more.
Investigating agencies are still clueless and have failed to reach any conclusion about the identity of the perpetrators even five days after theThough five days have passed after the occurrence of the power bomb blast at Makkah Masjid.
Now in order to give investigation a momentum the Hyderabad city police has announcd a cash reward of Rs 5 Lakh to anyone who gives crucial lead in the case. Hyderabad Police Commissioner Balwinder Singh has declared a reward of Rs. Five lakhs to those who provide the crucial information about the culprits. Balwinder Singh said that the public is requested to provide clues about the perpetrators.
The Andhra Pradesh government in the meantime transferred two police officials in connection with the firing on protesters after Friday's bomb blast in the city's historic Mecca Masjid. P. Sudhakar and E. Ramchandra Reddy, inspectors of Falaknuma and Moghalpura police stations respectively, were transferred to the control room Wednesday. Hyderabad Police Commissioner Balwinder Singh issued the orders for their transfers late in the evening.
The two officials had ordered firing on protesters, who had turned violent during the protest soon after the blast. Pressure was mounting on the government to act against the police officials involved in the indiscriminate firing on people who were protesting after the bomb blast at the mosque.
Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM), a powerful Muslim political party, and several other Muslim organisations had demanded suspension of four police officials and a CBI inquiry into the blast and the police firing. MIM leader and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi expressed his dissatisfaction over mere transfers of the two inspectors. He said all the four officials should be suspended for using excessive force against the protesters.
MIM had submitted a memorandum to the state human rights commission earlier in the day demanding inquiry into the police firing. The state government has already ordered magisterial inquiry into the police firing. (With inputs from agencies)
