What Happened: Three Disturbing Incidents
On Thursday, Shiv Sena state president Siddalinga Swami issued a press release demanding an independent judicial inquiry into the alleged fake encounter of a prisoner who escaped from Kalaburagi Central Prison. The demand revives long‑standing calls for police accountability and ties into ongoing debates sparked by the Prakash Singh reforms. Swami also asked authorities to release the full video footage covering the arrest in Bidar and the handover to Kalaburagi police, a request that could expose procedural lapses.

Delhi Police Constable Killed, Karnataka Fake Encounter, Student Murder: Police Reform Imperative
On a Wednesday evening, a Delhi head constable was fatally struck by a speeding vehicle near the Singhu border, while a prisoner’s “fake encounter” in Kalaburagi sparked demands for an independent probe, and a 22‑year‑old law student succumbed to stab wounds in Bengaluru. Together, these incidents expose chronic gaps in police accountability, investigative transparency and the protection of the right to life.
The Delhi tragedy unfolded under the Alipur Police Station area as Head Constable Amit attempted to regulate traffic at the Singhu border. A speeding car rammed into him; the driver fled, and Amit was declared dead on arrival at Narela’s Satyawadi Raja Harish Chandra Hospital.
