Inhumane Governance: Ex-Andhra CM on Woman Tied to Tree Over Loan
In a shocking incident that has left the nation in disbelief, a woman was tied to a tree and mercilessly tortured by a group of individuals in Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh over an unpaid debt. The incident has sparked widespread outrage and condemnation, with former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, terming it as a result of the “inhumane governance” of the previous government led by N Chandrababu Naidu.
The incident came to light when the woman, who was identified as a 35-year-old mother of two, was found tied to a tree in a village in Chittoor district. The perpetrators, who allegedly included the woman’s husband and his relatives, had tied her up and beaten her mercilessly over an unpaid debt of around Rs 50,000.
The inhumane act was brought to light after a passerby noticed the woman’s cries for help and rushed to her rescue. The police were called to the scene, and the accused were taken into custody.
Reacting to the incident, former Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy said that the “inhumane governance” of the previous government led by N Chandrababu Naidu was responsible for such atrocities taking place. He urged the government to take strict action against the culprits and ensure that justice is served to the victim.
“It is a result of the inhumane governance of the previous government that such atrocities are taking place in the state,” Reddy said. “The government should take strict action against the culprits and ensure that justice is served to the victim.”
The incident has also sparked a debate on the issue of debtors being subjected to physical torture and humiliation in the state. Many have criticized the government for not taking sufficient measures to protect the rights of debtors and ensure that they are not subjected to such inhumane treatment.
IT Minister Nara Lokesh, however, has confirmed that the accused have been arrested and said that the government accords utmost importance to women’s protection. “The accused have been arrested, and we are taking all necessary steps to ensure that justice is served to the victim,” Lokesh said. “We accord utmost importance to women’s protection and will not tolerate any form of harassment or torture.”
The incident has also raised questions about the effectiveness of the state’s debt relief schemes. Many have pointed out that such schemes are often marred by corruption and inefficiency, leading to many debtors being forced to take extreme measures to repay their debts.
The government has announced an investigation into the incident and has promised to take strict action against those found guilty. However, many have called for more stringent measures to be taken to prevent such atrocities from taking place in the future.
In conclusion, the incident of a woman being tied to a tree and tortured over an unpaid debt is a stark reminder of the inhumane governance that has plagued Andhra Pradesh in the past. It is imperative that the government takes strict action against the culprits and ensures that justice is served to the victim. Moreover, the government must also take steps to protect the rights of debtors and ensure that they are not subjected to physical torture and humiliation.
