Hyderabad Shock: Two Women Brutally Assaulted Over Religious Conversion
A viral video shows two women being brutally attacked in Hyderabad's Almasguda over alleged religious conversion attempts.
A disturbing incident has come to light from the Almasguda area of Ranga Reddy district in Hyderabad, where two women were allegedly assaulted by locals. The violence was sparked by accusations that the women were attempting religious conversion assault Hyderabad activities by preaching Christianity to schoolgirls in the locality.
The Incident: From Confrontation to Violence
According to reports, the tension began when local residents allegedly caught the two women engaging in preaching activities targeted at school-aged girls. The locals confronted the women, questioning them about their motives and the nature of their religious activities. However, the situation quickly escalated from a verbal confrontation to physical violence.
The assault was captured on a mobile phone by witnesses, and the footage has since gone viral across various social media platforms, sparking widespread outrage and debate over religious freedom and vigilante justice.
Political Outcry and Demand for Justice
The incident has drawn strong condemnation from political leaders. Sabitha Indra Reddy, a former Telangana Minister and current Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLA, expressed her deep distress after viewing the viral video. Taking to her X (formerly Twitter) handle, she described the attack as "brutal" and emphasized that violence against women is never justifiable.
"It is very distressing to see the video of a man brutally attacking two women in the Almasguda area of Rangareddy district," the BRS MLA stated.
Call for Legal Recourse Over Violence
Sabitha Indra Reddy highlighted that while individuals may have objections regarding religious freedom, such grievances must be handled through the appropriate legal framework rather than through physical aggression.
She urged the Telangana Police to take the following immediate steps:
- Respond swiftly to the incident and analyze the viral footage.
- Identify and arrest the perpetrators involved in the assault.
- Initiate strict legal action against those responsible for the violence.
- Ensure the safety and protection of the victimized women.
Police Jurisdiction
The incident reportedly falls under the jurisdiction of the Meerpet Police Station. While the video has provided a visual record of the assault, the authorities are expected to investigate the claims of religious conversion alongside the criminal act of physical assault.
