YSRC Seeks Justice for Assaulted Tribal Woman
Poojitha further alleged that instead of taking action against the accused, the police had booked the victim's son, who was reportedly in a relationship with a Muslim girl.
Nellore: YSRC women's wing working president Kakani Poojitha on Saturday demanded immediate justice for the tribal woman who was allegedly stripped, assaulted and publicly humiliated in Kavali, and sought stringent action against those responsible.
Addressing a press conference at the YSRC district office in Nellore, Poojitha alleged that crimes against women had increased under the coalition government and accused the police of failing to act promptly in the Kavali incident.
She claimed that although the incident occurred on June 19, a case was registered only on June 26. She also alleged that the victim's whereabouts and details of her treatment had been kept from the public.
Poojitha further alleged that instead of taking action against the accused, the police had booked the victim's son, who was reportedly in a relationship with a Muslim girl.
Referring to another alleged assault on a woman in Duttalur mandal, she claimed that no case had been registered in that incident either, alleging selective policing.
She urged home minister Vangalapudi Anitha to personally visit the victim's family, ensure justice and direct the police to take stringent legal action against all those responsible. She also called on the police to function impartially and strictly in accordance with the law.
