Brief Details of the Incident:
Jayagalla Sunitha (22) SC Madiga by caste, is a native of Aloor , Chevella Mandal, Rangareddy District. She is the younger daughter of Anthaiah and Late Padmamma. Her elder sister is married. Sunitha is physically handicapped and both feet are crippled, hence she has difficulty in walking. She started doing a private job after her sister got married. Later she happened to meet one Mr Raghavender (32) BC Gowd by caste of the same village. His parents Anasuja and Ananthaiah are marginal farmers. Raghavender and Sunitha soon fell in love. Sunitha helped financially to Raghavender while he was studying B.Ed. Their love went on well for 3 years and they both got married on 12/06/2014 in Yadagirigutta. On the same day they moved to a rented house in Vikarabad.
On the same day evening i.e., on 12th June he went for marriage looks and saw Santosha of his caste. He married Santhosha on 22/6/2014 and continued to live with both of them without the knowledge of Sunitha. On 28/8/2014 he got job as Railway Track Man at Marpalli. Later Sunitha came to know about his second marriage and questioned him. Raghavender Gowd convinced Sunitha that he would also take care of her along with other wife. He shifted Sunitha to Mominpet from Vikarabad in January 2015. He rented separate rooms for both the wives. Santosha, his second wife became pregnant and since then he slowly began to avoid Sunitha and started quarrelling for petty issues. On 4/4/15 as Sunitha was not feeling well she asked him to take her to hospital but he unnecessarily beat her up a lot and went to his job. Sunitha had severe bleeding, hence made a phone call to Raghavendar and informed about her bleeding. He came and gave Rs 1000/- for medical expenses and simply went away and since then he has not returned back. Unable to bear the agony and his negligent attitude towards her she complained in the Chevella PS. Then Raghavender’s family members threatened Sunitha that they would commit suicide if she didn’t withdraw the case. Sunitha was convinced to withdraw her complaint stating that her husband would look after well. The same day he left her again at their room in Mominpet and went away. Then Sunitha informed the entire matter to her father and later they approached Vikarabad SP and Women Police station, but in vain. DSS women collective of Alur took up the issue conducted a fact finding and got the case registered on 12/05/15 at Chevella PS.
