Hyderabad (Telangana): Trolled over his comments on Bilkis Bano case, KT Rama Rao, Minister for Municipal Administration, strongly defended the Telangana Government, saying the rapists in Hyderabad case were swiftly arrested and sent to jail.
In his strong reaction, KTR posted a counter Tweet: 'To the silly trolls who indulge in whataboutery & question what #Telangana Govt did in recent rape case in Hyderabad. The Rapists were arrested swiftly & sent to jail. After 45 days, the High Court had granted them Bail."
The Minister further said that loopholes in Juvenile Justice Act, IPC & CrPC have resulted in the rapists getting out on bail in Jubilee Hills rape case. "That’s the reason why I am demanding that these acts be amended so no rapist gets bail and when convicted remains in jail till death or life imprisonment in truest sense," said KTR in his recent tweet.
