[Reader-list] Another 'encounter' averted in Jamia area?

[ambarien qadar]

Dear all,
 
This is to add to Yousuf's mail by the same heading on this list.
The incident happened on the night of 16th Oct. The next day the English press reported the incident as follows:
The police was trying to nab two young boys who were chain snatchers. Locals misunderstood the intentions of the police and infact two policemen were beaten up by the crowd. (The Indian Express, Oct 17th)
Locals say that the boys had been picked up and beaten up badly by the police. One of them in a semi-conscious state overheard the police say that "iska to encounter kar dete hai", ( We should finish him off in an encounter). 
The boys were being taken to the Noida-Ghaziabad border where there is a stretch of uninhabited land. As the police van passed through Jamia, the boys started shouting for help. At this a huge crowd descended. The police deployed some 2000 riot control personnel.
