Daily hearing to bring justice to veterinarian's family: Telangana guv
New Delhi, Nov 30: Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan on Saturday assured the family of the 26-year-old veterinarian, who was gangraped and killed, that "constitutionally and legally" she would do everything to ensure that they got justice soon with the setting up of a fast-track court and the trial being held on a daily basis.
The police would be asked to conclude the probe and file the chargesheet against the accused at the earliest, she said.
Talking to PTI over phone from Hyderabad after meeting the family at their Shamshabad residence for about half-an-hour, Soundararajan described the incident as "tragic and shocking" and said it had lowered the morale of girls and women, who were feeling unsafe.
"We
will
rectify
the
lapses
in
the
system
with
regard
to
women's
safety,"
she
said.
Soundararajan
shared
her
grief
with
the
family
and
said
the
girl's
mother
wept
uncontrollably
after
seeing
her.
The family was satisfied that the governor herself visited them to console, she said. The governor appealed to women and girls to develop courage and not to get demoralised.
