JAC slams police for issuing ‘unfounded statements’ on Pravalika’s personal life

The police and the Telangana government came under fire from political and social organisations on Tuesday, who questioned why unfounded statements were being issued regarding the personal life of Marri Pravalika, a Telangana State Public Service Commission (TSPSC) aspirant who was found dead in her hostel room in the city on Friday night. She is suspected to have died by suicide.

“Police is not the judiciary. How can they pass a verdict that the student was in a relationship? Why was her privacy invaded to tarnish her character? There is nothing wrong with being in a relationship,” said rights activist Sajaya, adding that the invasion of privacy bodes ill for civil society.

The meeting was addressed by Telangana activists like Kodandaram and Telangana Vittal.
