Orders Swift Investigation and Trial in Cases of Young Woman's Murder and Gang Rape of a Minor
Collect Strong Evidence and Ensure Harsh Punishment Within a Fixed Timeframe," Directs the Chief Minister
Giving Full Freedom to Police... The Ganja Gangs Must Be Cracked Down On," Says CM
DGP and Top Officials Brief CM on Investigation and Action Taken in Both Incidents
Create a Situation Where No One Dares Lay a Finger on Our Girls," Says CM Chandrababu
Amaravati:Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu held a review meeting at the Undavalli CM Camp Office on two distressing incidents involving girls in the united Anantapur district. He reviewed the murder of an intermediate student in Anantapur town and the rape of a minor girl in Yedugurallapalli, Ramagiri Mandal of Sri Sathya Sai District.
DGP and other senior officials briefed the CM on the progress of investigations in both cases. The CM was informed that the girl killed in Anantapur, named Tanmayi, was murdered by someone known to her, while in the Yedugurallapalli case, a group of individuals had been repeatedly sexually assaulting a minor girl over some time—a deeply disturbing crime.
The CM expressed deep anguish over the incidents and, after understanding the full details of the cases, emphasized that the accused must be punished without delay. He instructed officials to complete investigations quickly, file charge sheets, and ensure the trials are concluded at the earliest. He stressed that strong evidence must be gathered with utmost care to ensure the harshest possible punishment for the accused.
The CM directed the police department to deal sternly with crimes against women and said the state must instill fear in the minds of potential offenders about the swift and strict action by law enforcement. He underscored the need to send a strong message that whether a crime is committed in a fit of rage, under the influence of drugs like ganja, or in a planned manner—punishment is inevitable.
He further stated that not just these two cases, but any instance of violence, abuse, or sexual assault against women must be met with decisive police action that sends a clear signal to society. Referring to the previous government, the CM said that for five years, there was no control over criminals, and due to the widespread drug and ganja culture, many offenders acted with impunity. Even today, some individuals have not reformed their criminal behavior, he remarked.
He issued strict instructions to crack down on ganja gangs and stated that the police are being given complete freedom to act. "A 100% visible change must be achieved," he asserted.
Chief Secretary K. Vijayanand, DGP Harish Kumar Gupta, Intelligence Chief Mahesh Chandra Laddha, and other senior officials participated in the review meeting.
