Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on November 2, 2024 (Saturday) warned of dire consequences for those committing crimes against women and children.

“If laws permit, such persons should be booked under the gravest of grave crimes, and the government will recommend capital punishment,” Mr. Naidu said.

Speaking at a programme in Anakapalli, Mr. Naidu said the attack on a four-year-old girl was atrocious, and those committing such acts would be not be spared. “Under the influence of liquor and ganja, anti-social elements are treating women as an object of desire,” he observed.
