A large number of YSR Congress Party activists, led by Chittoor MP M. Reddappa, on Wednesday took out a massive rally through the arterial junctions of Kuppam town, to condemn the alleged sexual assault on a six-year-old girl by a Telugu Desam Party activist on Tuesday.
A senior TDP activist of Kuppam, identified as Sridhar (45), reportedly lured the child with eatables and allegedly sexually assaulted her at an abandoned structure in Kuppam on Tuesday.
Deputy SP (Palamaner) C.M. Gangaiah told The Hindu that the accused was thrashed by the public immediately after the incident. “The accused is currently under treatment at the government hospital at Kuppam. He would be arrested after discharge from hospital,” he said.
