Pratyusha, the victim of father and step-mother’s torture, is now under the guardianship of Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao. He had lunch with her this afternoon and instructed minister Kadiam Sirhari to take care of her needs especially the education. He also instructed Collector Raghunandan Rao and Cyberabad Police commissioner CV Anand to ensure her safety.
As per the CM’s wish, the Chief Justice of Hyderabad High Court, upon discharge from Hospital on Wednesday, directed the officials to shift her to the custody of chief minister Rao. The Chief Justice spoke to her for about half-hour to know her mind on her custody. Officials then shifted her CM’s residence.
