Telangana Tribal Woman

A protest by tribal organisations against an auto-rickshaw driver's alleged attempt to rape and murder a tribal woman in Jainoor town of Kumuram Bheem Asifabad District turned violent on Wednesday, leading to communal tension.

A 26-year-old tribal woman from Telangana's Nagarkurnool district was tortured in public on Sunday - she was beaten and chilli powder was rubbed into her eyes and genitals - after a mob that confronted the mother of three over missing money.

Four persons were arrested for allegedly torturing a 27-year-old Chenchu tribal woman for a week in Nagarkurnool district of Telangana after she did not turn up for work in an agricultural land, police said on Saturday.

The opposition BJP and Congress on Saturday hit out at the BRS government over the alleged "abuse and assault" on a tribal woman in a police station in Hyderabad and demanded that the government provide help to her.

A woman from a remote village in Telangana's Bhadradri Kothagudem district delivered a baby with the help of an ASHA worker while she was being taken to hospital by her husband.

Telangana forest officer C Anitha, allegedly attacked by a local TRS leader when she went to plant trees at a depleted forest area, has been charged under the SC/ ST (Prevention of Atrocities Act) after a tribal woman alleged that she and her staff abused her and others while they were working in their fields that day.

A tribal woman in Telangana killed her newborn daughter, feeding her milk laced with pesticides, after her husband had threatened to give divorce for giving birth to be another daughter. The incident is a grim reminder of the fact that gender discrimination is still embedded in the psyche of many.
