For the past one week, the attack on a pregnant woman’s family in Visakhapatnam is taking many twists and turns. It is well known the owner of their rented house is allegedly a YCP activist and he has beaten up her family for openly supporting Jana Sena Party. The incident sparked protests from women’s organisations. But the local police took one week to file an FIR and register the case properly.
As the pregnant woman’s condition deteriorated initially, the case became a major issue in the midst of elections. Even CM Chandrababu Naidu warned YCP against continuing their goonda and rowdy activities in the state. Seeing all this, the Vizag leaders of YCP and BJP have started showing the house owner as an activist of the BJP and that YCP has no connection with the incident at all.
The people’s organisations have also fired at the police for not taking up the case immediately. They say the police are apparently under the influence of YCP local leaders. The women’s organisations are demanding serious action against the house owner for forcefully evicting the pregnant woman just because she did not consent to take part in YCP campaigning.
