Farmer Walks Half-Naked To DGP Office For Justice

In a novel protest, a half-naked farmer named Surender, of Ponagal village of Warangal district, carrying a plough on his shoulder and a rope in his hand, started walking from Indira Park to the office of the Director General of Police at Lakdi-ka-Pul on Friday seeking justice for him and protection from the ruling BRS' leaders.

The farmer demanded that the State government ensure rigorous punishment to his brother and certain BRS leaders for "cheating him by forging his land documents".

If however he himself was found guilty of just putting up a show, he could be hanged to death in the centre of the State capital, Surender said.

Surendar alleged that local BRS leaders had forged his land documents and were pressurising him to transfer his land to his brother.

He lamented that when he approached the police for justice, they did not take it seriously and just remained indifferent.

The farmer said that if the documents "forged" by the BRS leaders were found to be genuine, he could be hanged to death in the centre of the city, but that if not than the authorities concerned should render him justice.

When the protesting farmer reached the DGP's office at Lakdi-ka-Pul to meet the DGP to apprise him of his woes, the security personnel disallowed him inside.

He then urged the Governor, the Chief Justice of High Court and the DGP to intervene and solve his issue, and said that he would continue his protest until they solved his problem.
