Hyderabad: Condemning the violent incident in Kummera in Nagarkurnool district, where an infant died, BRS working president KT Rama Rao has demanded 1 crore compensation for the victim’s family. He stated that the entire Telangana society bowed its head in grief and anguish over the inhuman tragedy. He insisted that the alleged killers must be punished and imprisoned and, if necessary, awarded death penalty, but under no circumstances should they be allowed to go scot-free.KTR, who visited the victim’s family in Kummera on Wednesday, asserted that “anyone who stands by the killers of the innocent child is unquestionably guilty”. He said it was absolutely wrong for anyone — whether chief minister A Revanth Reddy, the local MLA or the local MP — to support those responsible for taking the life of the child.Demanding strict action, KTR stated that irrespective of who the perpetrators were or which party they belong to, they must be sent to jail. He specifically demanded that murder charges be filed against the eight accused involved in the attack and that they be arrested immediately.Criticising the state govt’s silence, KTR alleged that the govt was attempting to mislead the investigation by misusing its authority and influencing police. He termed the govt’s inaction and the chief minister’s silence on such a barbaric incident as “unforgivable”.Earlier in the day, KTR visited Kummera village and consoled the family of the infant. He met leaders and activists from various sections who protested for justice and expressed solidarity with the victim’s family.KTR said he came not as a political leader but as a father and a member of society to stand with the grieving family. He described the manner in which the innocent child lost her life as an indescribable tragedy. While stating that during such incidents everyone should rise above politics, he emphasised that everyone — media, political leaders, and the public — has a responsibility to fight until justice is delivered.
