Police firing
The communist parties' agitation seeking land for the landless poor in Telangana took a violent turn on 28 July 2007 as at least eight agitators were killed in the police firing on the protestors here in Mudigonda town.[1][2][3][4][5]
The policemen, most of them in plainclothes as they generally do in naxalite-prone areas, opened fire on the agitators when the protests turned violent and the vehicle of a senior police officer was attacked. The driver of a truck, which was stopped by the protestors, was also among the dead.
Telugu TV channels aired pictures of policemen firing several rounds from automatic weapons on the protestors. Most of the victims were inadvertently shot above the legs due to the tense situation under which the out-numbered security personnel were operating.
The police firing evoked sharp reaction from all opposition parties. The main opposition party in Andhra Pradesh (present day Telangana State), the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), which had backed the day long shutdown, termed the police firing as barbaric and inhuman.
Eight persons, including a woman, were killed and eight others injured, three of them critically, when police fired to quell a stone-pelting mob at Mudigonda village in Khammam district as the bandh turned violent.[1][2][3][4][5]
