The Hindu
13 of them, including four women, sent to jail
On January 17, at Marepally village in Kondapur mandal of Sangareddy district one Meesala Naveen, of the village, ended his life as he could not get money for liquor. He was addicted to liquor being sold at a belt shop in the village. Another four villagers, who had become addicted to liquor, had died in the past few months.
Angered by the rising addiction to liquor and death of their own people, villagers, especially women from Dalit community, on the next day attacked the shops, selling liquor without licence (belt shops), and damaged liquor bottles.
Based on the complaint lodged by the owners of the belt shops, police registered a case against 19 persons and sent 13 of them to remand, including four women, on January 24.
