Taneti Vanitha, the newly appointed Home Minister of Andhra Pradesh, has sparked outrage with her statements on recent r*pe crimes in the state. She said that the group rape of a 25-year-old pregnant lady at Repalle railway station on May 1 was unintentional and occurred due to unforeseeable circumstances. She has blamed rape incidents on psychological situations and poverty, and even claimed the accused did not mean to r*pe. It happened suddenly because the men were intoxicated and attacked with the purpose of robbing the survivor's husband, but she interfered, and the r*pe happened 'unexpectedly.' the Home Minister stated. In the context of a se*ual attack on a juvenile in Vizag, she previously stated that a mother is accountable for a child's safety.
