Hyderabad, July 11: The West Godavari District Police have informed the AP State Human Rights Commission that there was prima facie evidence against TDP MLA of Kovvuru T V Rama Rao, that he was “guilty” of outraging the modesty of girl students at the nursing college run by him at Nidadavolu.
The Commission Chairman B Subhashan Reddy had sought a response from West Godavari police following a complaint lodged by five girl students from Kerala last week.
The West Godavari police were earlier investigating the case of alleged rape and murder against the MLA, before it was transferred to CID.
The Narsapur DSP P Venkatarama Reddy submitted the report to the SHRC chairman yesterday wherein it was mentioned that there was prima facie evidence against the MLA for attempting to molest a girl in the college.
“The investigations reveal that the incident took place and the matter has been referred to the CID,” the DSP told reporters after submitting the report. The hearing has been posted to August 3.
Quoting the report, SHRC Chairman Reddy said the girls did not initially reveal the acts of the MLA against them out of fear. However, investigation by police revealed that the Kovvuru MLA was liable to be booked under Section 354 of IPC.
Subhashan Reddy also asked the CID to submit details of the investigations to him on August 3.
