TRS corporator of Jawaharnagar, Pallapu Ravi, 50, was arrested by the Rachakonda police on Saturday night on charges of rape. He was produced before a magistrate on Sunday, who remanded him to judicial custody. On Saturday, a 33-year-old domestic help lodged a complaint with Jawaharnagar police alleging that when she was alone in their under construction house site the previous evening, Ravi came there and raped her, the police said. As per the police, three years ago the victim and her husband purchased a 115 square yards of land parcel from the accused for ₹7.11 lakh. They asked Ravi, who is also a builder, to construct a house for them. However, as locals were troubling the couple, they left the area, and recently they approached the corporator again to finish the construction work for ₹2 lakh and paid ₹50,000 in advance.
The Union and State governments provided support in several ways to the needy people, but private institutions should also extend help, especially to those requiring medical assistance, said C.P. Rajkumar, Managing Director, Nalam Multispeciality Hospital, here on Saturday. Speaking at a function to honour Inspector General of Police V. Balakrishnan and neurologist S. Meenakshisundaram with C. Palaniappan Memorial Award for their contribution to society and Nalam Kappom medical adoption of Type-1 diabetic children, he said the governments implemented numerous welfare programmes, but the timely help by a private hospital or a doctor in the neighbourhood to the people in need would go a long way in safeguarding their lives.
