Cyberabad police has landed in soup after it responded to a tweet which called out ”Jihadis” working in software companies. The tweet by Suresh Kochattil, a member of BJP IT cell, said that many wannabe ”Jihadis” work for American software companies in Hyderabad. To this, Cyberabad police responded, “Yes sir… We have specialised wings for collection of advance intel and our teams are on the job 24X7. Thanks for alerting us. Please keep us updated if you find anything suspicious.”
Soon, All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen chief and Hyderabad MP, Asaduddin Owaisi slammed V.C. Sajjanar’s reply and wrote, “sir you say “yes sir” please enlighten how many such “jihadi” are working in software companies kindly give a number if not please clarify what you exactly meant. Will you reply to an MP or only to a Bhakt?” Owaisi told the police chief that terrorism has no religion and mentioned Mahatma Gandhi”s killer Nathu Ram Godse.
Yes sir… We have specialised wings for collection of advance intel and our teams are on the job 24X7. Thanks for alerting us. Please keep us updated if you find anything suspicious.

The MP also advised Sajjanar not to resort to killings in the name of encounter. “Whatever you do but no killings in the name of “encounter” at 5 am please, if possible arrest & as accepted 3rd degree will be given but pls no cartoos in stomach,” said Owaisi in an obvious reference to killing of four accused in the rape and murder case by Cyberabad police last month.
