Is it not crime to house a convict?

In the cash
for vote case Mattaiah alias Mathews Jerusalem was an A-4 convict in the case

registered
in Hyderabad but he is roaming freely in Andhra Pradesh. After the case got
filed

in Hyderabad
he fled to Vijayawada on May 31st, he went straight to Satyanarayanapuram

Police
Station in Vijayawada and lodged a complaint against KCR that he is threatening
him

and the
police have registered the case. By this we understand that he has taken
shelter in

Vijayawada.

Mattaiah
gave a written complaint that CM KCR has taken One crores from him to nominate

for the
position of MLA under Anglo Indian Quota. He stated in his complaint that his
wife &

children
were detained and also mentioned that he is being threatened to get killed, he

requested
the Police to provide him immediate protection as his life is in danger. The

Satyanarayanapuram
Police have responded quickly and filed a case under IPC 506,507 &

508 sections
and registered FIR on KCR.

We would
have never seen that a convict person registered in an FIR in one state was
given

protection
in another state. We cannot think that it happened unknowingly. The whole
country

is aware of
the cash for vote case and about the convicts in that case, the AP police will
be

definitely
knowing about him. Instead of taking him into custody the AP police have
received

him with
respect and received his complaint. By this we can understand to what degree
the

AP Police
have fallen. The Vijayawada Commissioner A.B.Venkateswara Rao saying that

they did not
know that Mattaiah was a convict in cash for vote case is something to be

looked at.
