India: Rein in the trigger-happy police force in Andhra and Telangana -statement by JTSA
9 April 2015JTSA condemns the killing of over 20 woodcutters in the Seshachalam forests and the 5 under-trials in Nalagonda (Telangana).

This, along with other details such as bullet injuries on the chest, head and face, contradict the police version of the events.
