Alleging that the police were trying to save the Marredpally Circle Inspector K. Nageshwar Rao in a rape case, Telangana Mahila Congress and Youth Congress activists staged a dharna at the DCP office of LB Nagar under Rachakonda police Commissionerate on Sunday.
The activists led by LB Nagar in-charge Malreddy Ram Reddy and Youth Congress president Shiv Sena Reddy staged a dharna and demanded the immediate arrest of Nageshwar Rao, accused of rape at gunpoint by a housewife. He is now suspended and on the run.
Mr. Shivsena Reddy warned that if the accused was not arrested by Monday, Congress would demonstrate at all police stations in Telangana seeking justice for women. The Congress activists also lodged a complaint against Home Minister Mahmood Ali stating that he was missing and was nowhere to be seen to give assurance to the victim.
