YSRCP seeks appointment with DGP over brutal murder of dalit activist Manda Salman

Tadepalli, Jan 18: YSR Congress Party has decided to submit a formal representation to the Director General of Police regarding the brutal murder of Dalit YSRCP activist Manda Salman of Pinnelli village in Gurazala constituency, Palnadu district, and has sought an immediate appointment on Monday (19th). In a letter addressed to the State DGP, YSRCP State General Secretary and MLC Lella Appi Reddy stated that Salman, who had been living away from his native village out of fear and had returned only to see his ailing wife, was mercilessly beaten to death with iron rods, reflecting the complete breakdown of law and order in the State. He said that since the TDP-led coalition government assumed office, Dalits have been left without protection, and YSRCP Dalit activists in particular are living under constant threat. He informed that the party will urge the DGP to ensure a fast-tracked, impartial investigation into the case and to take all necessary steps to ensure that those responsible are identified and punished strictly in accordance with law.
