Merely rowdysheet opened on Call Money racketeer
The key accused in the Call Money racket, Yalamanchili Sreeramamurthy, alias Ramu, has been made a rowdysheeter.
Ramu was doing finance business at Machavaram in Vijayawada.
The whole Call Money racket exploded on the public domain when a woman exposed Ramamurthy. She had told the police with evidence that Ramu had threatened her in connection with repayment and compromised her. Besides, he was torturing her by various methods.
She had lodged a complaint with the Machavaram police. The police then talked to their top brass and filed cases against seven others.
Would opening a rowdysheet against Ramu meet with the gravity of the Call Money racket? No, the police need to do a lot to assuage the people who have suffered at the hansds of the call money racketeers. The victims have undergone untold suffering.
The police are expected to do much more for the criminal acts of the racketeers. Already there are allegations that the racketeers have nexus with politicians in high places.
