I have no reason to doubt the official story.

Sure, let them get a hold of guns that are firing blanks then mow them down in “self defense”. No messy trials and instant justice.

I kinda’ like it this time, but you can keep that kind of stuff there.

"Some of the accused snatched the weapons from the police personnel and fired at them". "In self-defense, the police fired at the accused."

I'm certainly glad the Police were able to react quickly and foil the escape attempt.

Apparently these Reconstructions work well at quickly closing cases.

“They had been taken to the spot to reconstruct the crime between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m. Friday.”

The po-po be taking care of bidness.

Good for them.

Only some of the accused were shot.

[Getready]

Should have CNN article....says 4 men got guns...but also says some of accused got guns...some Indians speak of injustice to accused...but firing guns at police sealed the accused fate.

[Sans-Culotte]

So, “shot while trying to escape”?

[an amused spectator]

It would also be good if they fell down many flights of steps before they were killed in the “shootout”. ;-)

[Pollster1]

All of the accused thugs were shot and killed “while trying to escape”. Nope, nothing suspicious about that . . . or about holding a 3:00 am reconstruction of a horrific crime.

Where did an Indian cop get a gun, Pakistan?

I had an imergency landing in India in 1990s without visa and any proper documents at all and remember they sent some guys to keep us from leaving the tarmac. All were in weird uniforms and most armed with long sticks instead of guns. Some had guns and these were positively ancient, not even common bolt action rifles but something of earlier design.
