Staged Encounter
Encounter killings, often simply referred to as encounters, is a euphemism used in South Asia to refer to extrajudicial killings by security forces. The officers typically described the incidents as a shootout situation, often allegedly starting when a criminal grabs for the gun of a police officer. The term ''encounter'' came into widespread use for such incidents in the late 20th century. Critics are sceptical of the police motivation behind many of these reported incidents, and further complain that the wide acceptance of the practice has led to incidents of the police staging encounters to conceal the killing of suspects when they are either already in custody or are unarmed or have surrendered (or would have been willing to surrender if given the opportunity). Such instances are called ''fake encounters''. In some cases, surrendered criminals are shot in the leg as an extrajudicial punishment; these are called ''half encounters''. Sometimes police officers are also killed i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
