Hyderabad: Telangana Rakshana Sena (TRS) president Kalvakuntla Kavitha has demanded the state govt issue a look-out notice against Union minister Bandi Sanjay’s son Bandi Bageerath. She said that would make the women feel secure and instil confidence in them that police will stand by them, irrespective of the profile of the person involved in the case.Speaking to the media on the Pocso case against the Union minister’s son on Wednesday, Kavitha said, “First things first, Bandi Sanjay should have recused himself from sharing the stage with PM Narendra Modi, considering the seriousness of the allegations against his son. This sends the wrong message and makes citizens feel the powerful and mighty are above the law and can get away with anything.”Elaborating on the insensitivity displayed by social media armies of parties, she said, “BRS attacking Bandi Sanjay and the consequential smear campaign initiated by BJP supporters, trying to prove the accused’s innocence by assassinating the character of the victim has resulted in various personal images, videos, and details of the victim being revealed. Both parties are directly responsible for destroying the life of the young girl,” she added.Kavitha said bringing out personal images and videos of the girl and using them to drive a political agenda was not only morally deplorable but also illegal. They have subjected the girl and her family to unfathomable trauma, she added.Stating that BJP was known for letting people flee the country in such cases, she demanded swift action from police. “BJP, out of habit, might try helping the accused flee the country. Therefore, I demand that a look-out notice be issued immediately. This will make the women of Telangana feel secure and instill confidence in them that police will stand by them, irrespective of the profile of the person involved in the case,” she said.Demanding swift action against those behind the social media posts, she said, “An investigation into the social media accounts, which are using the victim’s pictures and videos should be launched immediately. The accounts should be blocked and arrests made without wasting any more time, she said.
