In December 2008, two engineering students of Warangal in Telangana were attacked with acid over a suspected case of turned down love. The three suspects were later killed in an encounter. The superintendent of police in Warangal district then was VC Sajjanar IPS.
Incidentally, the Commissionerate of Cyberabad Police which has jurisdiction over Shamshabad police station, where the case of rape and horrific murder of a veterinarian was registered is now headed by Commissioner VC Sajjanar, who hails from Hubbali, Karnataka.
Cyberabad Police Commissioner Vishwanath Sajjanar is an alumnus of JG College of Commerce in Hubballi (BCom), and Kausali Institute of Management Studies of Karnatak University in Dharwad (MBA). His father C B Sajjanar, of Pagadi Oni in Hubballi, was a tax consultant and social worker. Vishwanath's brother Mallikarjun Sajjanar is a pediatrician.
Twitter erupted in praise for the commissioner of Cyberabad police, VC Sajjanar after all four accused -- Mohammad Ali alias Mohammad Arif, Jollu Shiva, Jollu Naveen Kumar and Chintakunta Chenna Keshavulu -- were killed in an encounter after they tried to flee while they were being taken to the murder site.
One user @tulaarun tweeted, “VC Sajjanar | Encounters | Warangal: 2008 | Hyderabad: 2019 | The best news to wake up to for everyone. Disha rapists encounter at the same spot that her body was found. # Salute TS police”
