GUNTUR: Police failure in acting tough against an eve teaser drove an engineering student to make a suicide bid. The victim is struggling for survival at the Government General Hospital (GGH) at Guntur. According to information, Talathoti Prasanthi, a resident of Medikonduru village, is in the final year at RVR&JC College of Engineering near here. Hailing from a poor dalit family, the girl
fought all odds before reaching the final lap of her studies. She,
however, has been facing trauma in the form of an eve teaser of her
village, Korivi Chennaiah.
Chennaiah, a daily-wager, has been harassing the girl by pestering her to marry him. However, his overtures became unbearable in the recent past forcing the girl even to skip college on many occasions. He is reported to have threatened to throw acid on her if she did not accept his proposal.
Shocked over the development, the girl informed her parents, who in turn lodged a complaint with the Medikonduru police about a month ago. Ironically, police took the issue lightly and did not take any action against Chennaiah.
Chennaiah is reported to have threatened the girl once again last week saying that police would not take action against him as he had political backing. Unable to tolerate the torture, Prasanthi consumed pesticide in the early hours of Wednesday.
