In a chilling incident that has sent shockwaves through Telangana, the brutal murder of a woman constable has exposed the dark underbelly of the state's drug trade. The Communist Party of India (Marxist) is now calling for swift and decisive action against the powerful drug mafia, believed to be behind this heinous act.
The tragic death of Excise Department constable Soumya, a resident of Mopal village, has sparked outrage. CPM State Secretary John Wesley vehemently condemned the murder, demanding the immediate establishment of a fast-track court to bring the perpetrators to justice. The constable's death was not a mere car accident but a calculated act, allegedly perpetrated by the drug mafia during a vehicle inspection. This incident has brought to light the alarming extent of the drug network's influence in Hyderabad and beyond.
The CPM's statement paints a grim picture, suggesting that drug seizures in places like Rangareddy district are just the tip of the iceberg. Despite the Chief Minister's assurances, the party asserts that the drug problem persists, with supply chains operating freely across districts. This situation, they argue, is fueling social unrest and crimes, particularly against women. The recent murder of activist Penchalaiah in Nellore and now Constable Soumya underscores the audacity and reach of these criminal networks.
In their demand for justice, the CPM insists on more than just individual arrests. They call for a comprehensive dismantling of the drug network, emphasizing the need to protect those tasked with public safety. As the party urges, the time has come for authorities to take bold action, ensuring the tragedy does not become a grim reminder of the state's vulnerability to organized crime.
