‘Criminals’ going scot free as police fail to provide TV footage in courts

Deccan Chronicle  

HYDERABAD: The failure of investigation officers to collect proper evidence due to a dearth of CCTV footage, criminals involved grave offences, including murder and extortion, are going scot free. Even the courts are asking the investigating officers to furnish video footage as proper evidence to identify the accused. For instance, on October 17, a retired bank employee K. Linga Reddy and his wife Urmila Devi were found murdered reportedly by persons known to them at their residence in Amberpet police limits. Although, the police detained some suspects, the IO was unable to identify the accused due to lack of CCTV footage.
