A 35-year-old migrant worker, Anjaneya Prasad, who recently returned from Kuwait, allegedly murdered his physically challenged relative, P Anjaneyulu (59), in a fit of rage. Prasad accused Anjaneyulu of sexually abusing his minor daughter.
Murder Following Alleged Sexual Abuse
The incident occurred in Obulavaripalli village in Annamayya district on the night of December 6-7. Rajampet sub-divisional police officer, N Sudhakar, confirmed that Prasad bludgeoned Anjaneyulu to death with an iron rod while the victim was sleeping outside his home.
Confession in Video Message
Following the murder, Prasad returned to Kuwait and released a video message confessing to the crime. In the video, he claimed that the police had failed to take action on his daughter’s complaint of sexual abuse, prompting him to resort to violence. Police have registered a murder case against Prasad and are actively searching for his arrest.
Anjaneya and his wife, Chandrakala, reside in Kuwait, while their 12-year-old daughter initially lived with her grandparents. Subsequently, the child moved in with Chandrakala’s sister, Lakshmi, and her husband.During her stay at Lakshmi’s house, the girl was allegedly molested by Lakshmi’s father-in-law. When she reported the incident to her aunt, she was allegedly instructed to remain silent.
Frustration with Police Inaction
Anjaneya and his wife were later informed about the incident and filed a complaint with the local police. However, Anjaneya claimed that instead of taking action against the accused, the police attempted to mediate the issue. The alleged molester was reportedly released with only a warning.
Feeling helpless and frustrated with the lack of justice for his daughter, Anjaneya took matters into his own hands, tragically resulting in the murder of his relative.
