Guntur: A day after the news of the murder of a visually-impaired girl in Guntur surfaced, Andhra Pradesh Home minister Thaneti Vanitha condemned the incident on Tuesday. She reiterated the government’s commitment to punish the culprits and said, “The YSRCP government will not spare anyone who commits a crime against women.”
Speaking to the media in Velagapudi, she elaborated how the Andhra Pradesh police took swift action and arrested the accused within an hour after the incident occurred on 12 February. “It is unfortunate to witness the murder of a minor girl. The police department responded in no time and nabbed the accused,” she said.
Slamming the Opposition TDP, she said, “It is not just inhumane but shameful how the TDP is trying to get political mileage out of this tragedy. Misinformation about the incident is being spread to paint the government in a bad light. Personal rivalries are being given a different twist. I urge Chandrababu Naidu not to stoop this low and make a mockery of such a devastating loss of a family.”
Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has announced a compensation of Rs. 10 lakh to the girl’s family.
