Preliminary NCW Probe Finds No Gang-Rape at Medaram Jatara

The commission awaits a detailed police report before issuing final findings and recommendations.

Overview

  • An NCW inquiry team led by member Delina Khongdup visited Mulugu, met the District Collector T. S. Diwakara and SP Sudhir Ramnath Kekan, and inspected the Medaram site.
  • The team’s on-ground assessment reported no evidence of a gang-rape of the 13-year-old during the Sammakka Saralamma Jatara.
  • Telangana Police will submit a written report with corroborative evidence to the NCW at the earliest for review.
  • The committee also held discussions with the Telangana DGP on the case, pending complaints, suo motu notices, and NRI-related issues.
  • The NCW acted after media and social posts alleged an assault, including unverified claims involving five youths from Chhattisgarh, at a fair that draws thousands from multiple states.
