Sugali Preethi’s parents face insult at Kurnool Collectorate

It has been nearly four years since Sugali Preethi (14) was allegedly found hanging in her hostel room at a school in Kurnool. The girl’s parents allege that their daughter was forcibly raped and killed by the school owner.

Since the issue happened in 2017, the parents of the 14-year-old Scheduled Caste (SC) girl have been tirelessly fighting for justice.

Now, Sugali Preethi’s family members were humiliated in Kurnool Collectorate. The arrest of Preethi’s parents by the police, who came to meet the collector in connection with the compensation, has caused a stir.

Collector Veerapandian had earlier promised to give Preethi’s father a government job and land in this regard. However, the IAS officer was transferred and posted as VC and MD, A.P. State Civil Supplies Corporation.

Yesterday Preethi’s parents went to meet the new collector. But, the police obstructed and arrested them. This terrible incident has outraged Dalit organisations.
