Telangana BJP president G. Kishan Reddy, on Sunday, demanded a probe by National Investigation Agency (NIA) into the encounter in which two suspected Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) under-trials were killed in Nalgonda district.

Addressing media persons, he said NIA should be involved in view of the news reports that the under-trials had links with Pakistan’s ISI and that they had also committed crimes in other States. The two SIMI under-trials were suspected to have shot at policemen, killing a constable and injuring a sub-inspector and an inspector at Suryapet in Nalgonda district on Thursday.
