Crime against women on rise in Jagan govt, alleges Pawan Kalyan

Amaravati, September 20: Expressing anguish over sexual assault incidents on tribal women, Jana Sena president Pawan Kalyan alleged that crime against women gone up under the YSRCP government rule. In a tweet, he mentioned that Andhra Pradesh secured spot in top ten states which recorded more crimes against women as per the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) data.
 
Pawan Kalyan accused state government of not acting swiftly on cases related to violence against women. “Criminals are committing crimes as the AP government is lethargy to punish guilty in cases already registered,” he pointed out and extended solidarity to kin of victims.
 
The Jana Sena chief flayed police for not arresting an accused, who raped a woman near the residence of Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, even after one year. “It reflects policing and law & order maintenance in the state. Increase in crime rate is failure of the AP government,” he mentioned.
