Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader KT Rama Rao raised alarm over the rising spate of sexual assaults on women in the state recently.
Taking to his social media platform X, he wrote, that in just 48 hours, four heinous incidents occurred, including gang rapes and assaults. “These gruesome acts highlight a severe lack of security for women and a deteriorating law and order situation in the state.”
He further stated that even after eight months, the state does not have a home minister, and the increase in crime is a direct result of that. “The horrific incidents in Vanasthalipuram, Shaligouraram, Nirmal, and Puppalaguda demand urgent action. We demand swift justice, strict punishments for the culprits, and immediate government action to ensure women’s safety.”
