CLP leader meets son of victim of ‘police brutality’

Reiterating his charge that the “lock-up” death of Dalit woman Mariyamma at Addagudur police station in Yadadri-Bhongir district four days ago was a horrific case of “police brutality”, Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka has urged Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan to ensure action against those responsible for the “horrific incident”. We will meet the Governor, if needed, to urge her to look into the ghastly incident and ensure that the guilty be brought to book and the victim’s family gets justice, the CLP leader said, repeating his demand for stringent action against the “guilty” and also those allegedly trying to “cover up” the grisly incident. Mr. Vikramarka met the deceased domestic help’s younger son Udaykiran, who is undergoing treatment for “caning injuries” at the District Headquarters Hospital here on Monday. The CLP leader was accompanied by Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) SC Cell chairman Preetham and others.
