Tensions in Telangana's Asifabad After Tribal Woman Raped, Brutally Assaulted By Auto Driver

Hyderabad: Tensions have flared up in Telangana’s Asifabad after an auto driver allegedly raped a tribal woman. Telangana BJP spokesperson Tulla Veerender Goud took to social media platform X and slammed the Congress party-led government in the state. 

“Jainoor in Asifabad district is witnessing unrest after an auto driver allegedly raped a tribal woman. Under Congress rule, the brutal assault on a tribal woman and the violence that followed highlight the collapse of law and order. Congress has repeatedly failed to protect our tribals, and their incompetence is allowing such heinous crimes to happen,” Tulla Veerender Goud wrote on X.  

Telangana BJP also took to X and wrote, ““Komaram Bhim is atrocious in Jainur, Asifabad district. Sheikh Makhdhoom was the rapist who raped a tribal girl. He tried to kill her for fear of filing a case. As the perpetrator belongs to a minority community, the Revanth Sarkar has the upper hand. An attempt to turn the rape case into an accident. This is the relatives of the criminal who attacked the tribals protesting for justice. Politics of sympathy for minorities. Evidence of shameless Congress rule.”

Not just the BJP, but AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi has also raised his concerns over the violence which has erupted after rape and brutal assault of a tribal woman. Owaisi has written to the Telangana DGP and appealed for peace.

“I have spoken to @TelanganaDGP regarding incidents of communal disturbances in Jainoor, Asifabad District, the @TelanganaDGP assured me that it is being monitored &additional forces are being send and action will be taken against people who take law in their hands," Owaisi said.
