Members of the Kula Vivaksha Vyatireka Porata Samithi (KVPS) set ablaze an effigy of ‘casteism’ here on Saturday in protest against the brutal murder of Pranay, a youth belonging to Scheduled Castes (SCs), in a suspected case of honour killing in Miryalaguda town of Nalgonda district on Friday.
The protesters led by the KVPS district leader N. Manohar staged a demonstration near the RDO’s office demanding stringent action against the persons involved in the ‘honour killing.’
Addressing the demonstration, Mr. Manohar alleged that the ruling dispensations at the Centre and the State have miserably failed to curb the growing instances of honour killings.
He demanded that those behind the brutal honour killing be punished by conducting the trial in a fast track mode.
