Cases booked but no progress
We saw them on our television screens - holding the city to ransom, triggering violence and lynching a policeman. This was on April 13, 2006, the day of thespian Rajkumar's funeral.
Today, two years after the mayhem claimed the lives of eight people, injured 282 policemen and 42 civilians, six cases of killings have been disposed of. Two other cases related to murder and arson are under trial.
Among those killed were newly-recruited constable Manjunath Malladi whose case is under trial, and Shailesh, an employee in RGUHS, whose case has been disposed of.
The Nandini Layout police had a tough time in the last two years gathering evidence on the six killings in their limits, but could not get vital evidence. ���We had to ask only those people who were there on the streets, when the violence broke during the funeral, to record their statements as witnesses. In most of the killings there was no evidence. Three other cases in connection with the violence are still at the trial stage," the Nandini Layout police said.
In fact, then city Police Commissioner Ajai Kumar Singh thanked the media, both visual and print, for evidence which came handy. After screening through visuals of the arson, police could arrest and book cases.
"Accused have been chargesheeted in almost all the cases. However, in some cases it was difficult to zero in on the accused as there was no evidence. Bringing the situation to normal was more important for us at that time. Just a day's violence, and the city suffered a loss of Rs 9.17 crore," Joint Commissioner of Police (crime) Gopal B Hosur said.
The other two deaths had occurred near Kanteerava stadium and the chargesheets have also been submitted.
