In his representation Sandeep alleged that on August 15, the DPRO during the Independence Day programme insulted the woman APRO and used derogatory language against her in front of senior officials. He demanded the Collector to register a case under the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.

The APRO informed that on August 15, when she approached the DPRO to enquire about Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy’s speech copy, he abused her without any provocation. She claimed that the DPRO raised the issue at the office and again used derogatory language against her.

The incident reportedly came to the notice of the Ambedkar Yuvajana Sangam members and they lodged a complaint with the Collector.
