The rescue act makes Disha app the buzzword in Chittoor district
The July 29 episode of rescuing a 26-year-old woman and her two children aged 6 and 2 years from her husband in a pathetic condition near Chittoor has made the Disha app a buzzword in the district. A couple from Chittoor town got married seven years ago. The husband used to work as a lecturer in a junior college, but was recently terminated. His wife is a nurse at a private hospital. Due to family disputes, they had been living separately for three years. The children were staying with their mother. In May, the woman, residing in Chittoor, tested positive for COVID-19 and was admitted to the district COVID hospital. When she returned home after 15 days, she could not find her children. Suspecting her husband’s hand in it, she rushed to his village on Chittoor outskirts only to be beaten up by the former. She lodged a complaint with the Chittoor urban police in this matter. While the police were holding a series of counselling sessions to the couple, on July 29 the woman got information from her husband’s neighbourhood that he was ruthlessly beating the children and was reportedly trying to put them in an orphanage. The woman accompanied by her younger brother rushed to the village and picked up the emaciated children.More Related News
