Telangana girl murdered by parents for honour
In a shocking incident of honour killing in Telangana, parents allegedly murdered their 20-year-old daughter for marrying a youth from a different caste, police said on Sunday.
The incident occurred in Kalamadugu village of Mancherial district, about 250 km from here.
Police said P. Anuradha’s parents with the help of some other relatives brutally killed her, burnt the body and threw the ashes in a stream.
The incident occurred on Saturday night but came to light on Sunday after police took up the investigation on a complaint by Anuradha’s husband A. Laxman.
Laxman and Anuradha, both residents of Kalamadugu village, were in love. As Anuradha’s family opposed the alliance, the couple fled to Hyderabad, where they married at Arya Samaj temple on December 3, police said.
After 20 days, the couple reached the village on Saturday. On learning about this, Anuradha’s parents and other relatives attacked Laxman’s house and forcibly took away Anuradha.
Police investigations revealed that the parents took her to a place near Mallapur village in Nirmal district and killed her. They allegedly burnt the body and dumped the ashes in a stream to remove the evidence.
Police have arrested Anuradha’s father Sattenna and mother Laxmi, who were angry with their daughter for marrying a man from a lower caste.
In September, Pranay Kumar, a Dalit youth, was hacked to death in full public view in Nalgonda town. The killer was hired by Pranay’s father-in-law Maruti Rao as her daughter Amrutha had married the youth against the family’s wish.
Is Glass Tumbler Catchy For Pawan?
Election symbols make a lot of difference for recognised political parties. If the voters are identified with a symbol, they will definitely get attached to it.
That is why, political parties make a special request to the Election Commission for the allotment of symbols to their parties.
However, if the symbols requested by new political parties are already allotted to other parties elsewhere in the country, the EC will use its discretion and allots symbols of its choice to the new parties.
On Sunday, EC issued a notification allotting “glass tumbler” symbol to Jana Sena Party headed by actor Pawan Kalyan.
The EC said Jana Sena can contest elections in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh on this symbol.
The symbol will be given permanently to Jana Sena, if the party gets the recognised party status in Andhra Pradesh or Telangana.
For getting the recognition as a state party, Jana Sena has to get at least six per cent of the polled votes and win at least two MLAs seats in the coming assembly elections in Andhra Pradesh, or at least eight per cent of the votes in Lok Sabha elections in Telangana or Andhra Pradesh. If it doesn’t get, Jana Sena will lose the party symbol and recognition.
Now, the question is whether the glass tumbler symbol will be catchy for Jana Sena to get the recognition from the people in the coming elections.
In 2009 elections, his brother megastar Chiranjeevi was allotted rail engine symbol by the EC, but it did not go well in to the people.
On the other hand, YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy could take is “ceiling fan” symbol effectively into the people, though it is not very attractive.
So, it all depends on how Pawan will popularise his glass tumbler symbol. He, however, is happy with the allotment of the symbol. In his tweet, he expressed happiness and the symbol evoked his childhood memories.
Describing it as a common man’s symbol, Pawan thanked the EC for giving it a permanent symbol.
