There have been a series of incidents of atrocities against women and girl students in Jubilee Hills, Nirmal, Manthani and other places. Yet Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao did not bother and remained silent. But, he speaks on Hijab issue in Karnataka. Bandi alleged that the State government is willfully diluting Preethi's case. "She died in MGM, Warangal. but, fearing a strong reaction from students and other quarters, her body was shifted to NIMS to enact a drama of providing better treatment.
