TRS Govt Tampering With FIRs Of RTC Employees’ Suicides: Congress

Hyderabad, Oct.15 (Maxim News): The Congress party on Tuesday alleged that the TRS Government has attempted to tamper with facts in the FIRs (First Information Reports) pertaining to suicide cases of RTC employees.

Addressing a press conference at Gandhi Bhavan, TPCC official spokesperson Syed Nizamuddin informed that on receiving the information about RTC conductor Surender Goud’s suicide, he visited his house in Kulsumpura on Sunday. He also visited the Kulsumpura Police Station, along with Surender’s family members, where the local police was preparing the FIR. He said he was shocked to see that the police was trying to cite ill-health as the reason for Surender’s suicide. “They were trying to skip the mention of RTC strike and his illegal dismissal from service in the FIR. On my intervention, the FIR was corrected and family’s version was added that he committed suicide due to depression and financial problems caused due to his illegal dismissal from service,” he said.

Nizamuddin alleged that similarly attempts were made to tamper with the FIR in the suicide case of RTC driver Srinivas Reddy in Khammam. Condemning the move, Nizamuddin alleged that the TRS Government was trying to downplay the incidents by tampering, manipulating or misrepresenting the facts. He said the same trick was applied in cases of suicide by farmers. “More than 4,000 farmers committed suicide in Telangana in the last five years. However, the local police was apparently directed not to register FIR in those cases or mention health and personal problems as the reason for suicide.(Maxim News)
