<b>Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy on Wednesday directed the Hyderabad city Police not to book any cases against those injured in the police firing on May 18 soon after the blast in Mecca Masjid.</b>
The move came after <b>the police booked serious cases, including that of attempt to murder, against the nine youth injured in the police firing.</b> They included even 16-year-old boys. The move sparked off a fresh round of anger and consternation in the minority community and it was <b>one of the important subjects of discussion on Wednesday when a delegation of United Muslim Action Committee met the Chief Minister at his office.</b>
It also demanded that all harassment of the minority community by the police should be stopped immediately and the Chief Minister assured that he would issue the necessary orders to the Director General of Police and the city Police Commissioner.
The delegation, led by renowned religious scholar Moulana Hameeduddin Aauqil Hussami and comprising representatives of seven different organisations, also demanded a judicial inquiry into the police firing by a sitting High Court Judge which should be time bound.
<b>Briefing the media after the meeting, Member of Parliament from Hyderabad Asaduddin Owaisi said that the delegation submitted a list of four High Court judges names and requested the Chief Minister to see that one of them head the commission.</b>
<b>The terms of reference of the commission should include the circumstances in which fire was opened by the police, whether it was preceded by lathicharge, tear gas shells, water cannon etc, what kind of weapon and bullets were used, who ordered the firing and why the police fired above the waste causing deaths and debilitating injuries, the delegation said in the representation.</b>

Something very odd about the Mecca Masjid blast is the lack of progress in getting the real perpetrators arrested. And the CBI refrence. Its like the CM doesnt trust the local police or doesnt want to know who did it. Now judicial inquiry by AP HC judge proposed by the delegation.
So Sajid Mian from Kolkota, one suspect from Jamshedpur, Sohaib Jagirdar from Jalna, and Nayeem/Sameer from West Bengal are the arrested folks.
