We Will Fight Until Justice Is Delivered to Tejasri : Kavitha

TRS chief Kavitha staged a protest outside the Rajendranagar Police Station in Hyderabad in support of Tejasri, an assistant professor at the Agriculture University. Kavitha alleged that Tejasri had lodged a complaint with the police 15 days ago, accusing the university's Vice-Chancellor of sexual harassment, but that no FIR had been registered so far. She accused the government of attempting to protect the Vice-Chancellor instead of ensuring justice for the complainant. Kavitha said the police had agreed to register an FIR only after Tejasri staged a protest outside the station for nearly eight hours. Against this backdrop, Kavitha also sat in protest outside the police station for more than two hours.

Kavitha said it was unjust that no FIR had been registered despite the complaint being filed, and that the complainant had not even been given an acknowledgement of her complaint. She criticised the Congress government, alleging that women were not receiving adequate protection under its rule. Kavitha said the police had now assured them that an FIR would be registered. She added that this could strengthen the case pending before the Women’s Commission. Assuring Tejasri of her support, Kavitha said the party would continue its fight until justice was delivered to her.
