Telangana Congress president A. Revanth Reddy, on Friday, alleged that Home Guard Ravinder’s death was not a suicide but murder committed by the State government.
He demanded criminal cases against Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao blaming him for the death, as he had promised to recognise Home Guards as government employees and extend all the benefits but failed to do so. He said that Ravinder committed suicide on the same issue.
He alleged that the government was not paying salaries to Home Guards for five months due to the State’s financial crisis. Bills are being given to contractors who give commissions to BRS leaders and not the employees and those involved in other services of the government, he said, and demanded the government to bear the cost of Ravinder’s children’s education and also urged DGP Anjani Kumar to give a job to one of the family members and a compensation of ₹25 lakh.
