YSRCP accuses TDP of shielding online abusers targeting women

Amaravati

On Friday, the YSRCP accused the ruling TDP in Andhra Pradesh of protecting online abusers, particularly those targeting women. This allegation came after the arrest of TDP worker C Kiran Kumar for allegedly abusing YS Jagan Mohan Reddy’s wife. Kumar was arrested following a complaint, brought before a magistrate, and remanded in judicial custody. YSRCP spokesperson Shyamala claimed the arrest was staged and questioned why no action was taken against N. Chandrababu Naidu and Nara Lokesh, despite Kumar naming them as instigators. She criticized Home Minister V Anita for her lack of response to such cases and condemned the TDP’s social media wing for spreading hate. Shyamala also alleged that police were not acting on complaints and pointed out that even she had faced similar online abuse. She stated that the state was suffering from anarchy, lawlessness, and increasing attacks on women.
