The 4-member team of National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) visited villages in trouble-torn Palnadu region in Guntur district. They arrived following an enquiry ordered by NHRC into the police and ruling YCP atrocities against the opposition leaders and civil society activists. The team visit caused tensions among the police officers in the district. The NHRC is enquiring into the alleged human rights violations resorted to by the Guntur police in collusion with the YCP leaders.
The NHRC team visited Ponugupadu village in Phirangipuram mandal where the YCP leaders constructed a wall across the road to block out TDP sympathisers’ houses. Though the victims complainer at various levels, the police didn’t take any action.
The NHRC team consisted of its members Arun Kumar, Lal Bahar, Mukhesh and Mallaiah. They will be visiting for four days to study the cases filed by the police against the opposition leaders.
The NHRC has taken serious note of how a former Assembly Speaker was harassed by Jagan Circar and AP Police till he committed suicide. From a police constable to the top brass, everyone insulted Kodela Sivaprasada Rao and his family members abetting his suicide.
