Rs 5 L ex-gratia given to victim’s kin

Dachepalli : Home minister N Chinarajappa came down heavily on Opposition leader and YSRCP president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy to get mileage out of the minor girl’s rape incident.

Speaking to media at Dachepalli police station after reviewing the minor girl rape incident, Chinarajappa stated that political parties should not use the situation for political gains.

Stating that he handed over the Rs 5 lakh ex-gratia to the victim’s parents in Guntur General Hospital, where the child was under treatment, the minister announced that the accused A Subbaiah committed suicide at Daida in Gurajala mandal and the body would be shifted to autopsy report.

Reacting seriously on Jagan’s comments that TDP leaders were there behind the crime, Chinarajappa stated that he was always making false statements.

He said that the law and order in the state was under control and claimed that they controlled the sand mining, red sanders smuggling and many others effectively. Minister P Pulla Rao observed that state government was totally concerned with the victim and will extend further help to her in education and others.
