Disha got prominence, says victim’s mother
He said, “why is nobody bothered about us? Is it because we are poor or because we belong to the lower caste or both?”
He demanded a similar response, saying, “we want similar justice like in Disha’s case. If not an encounter, at least a fast track court needs to be set up and culprits must be severely punished, as soon as possible. We don’t understand why the government is giving preferential treatment only to a few victims? If this continues, we have to take law into our own hands and take revenge directly,” the husband added.
In another incident, a teenager was raped and killed in Warangal, on November 28, her birthday, the same day as the Disha rape occurred.
The mother of the victim said “Everybody is equal, but still only Disha’s case was given special treatment and the case was solved and justice was served. What have we done? Why is nothing moving forward in the case of our daughter?.”
Another mother, who has lost her daughter four years ago, in the hands of offenders in the city, asked, “In the case of
Disha, Chief Minister K Chandrasekar Rao and K.T. Rama Rao assured her family that they would be there for them. But what about us? Are we not citizens of Telangana? We are also voters. Why have they not consoled and assured us, when our daughter was burnt alive in a petrol attack in the heart of Hyderabad in broad daylight?”
Stating that her daughter was the sole breadwinner the mother said, “we are running from court complexes to police stations waiting for justice. There is no proper investigation. We have to wait for years to get justice.”
