State Home Minister M. Sucharita on Tuesday promised to ensure speedy justice to the minor girl, who was gang-raped allegedly by six persons, including three minors here last week.
Calling on the victim admitted to ‘Bala Sadan’ here along with her Cabinet colleagues T. Vanitha, A. Suresh and Balineni Srinivasa Reddy, Ms. Sucharita said: “As a humanitarian gesture Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has sanctioned an ex gratia of ₹10 lakh to the girl.”

Patting Prakasam Superintendent of Police Siddharath Kaushal for nabbing the accused soon after the sexual assault came to light, she felt that existing laws were enough to award deterrent punishment to the guilty. A strong case should be built to ensure that the accused were not enlarged on bail and trial speeded up for early conviction.
