Protest in Asifabad Collectorate Demands Justice in Honour Killing
Imagine a young woman named Shravani who was married to a man her family didn't approve of.
Sadly, she was later killed.
People are very upset and are protesting because they think it was an 'honour killing,' meaning she was murdered to protect the family's reputation.
The protest is at a government building, and the people want the police to investigate thoroughly and punish the people responsible.
They also want financial help and land for Shravani's family.
Some leaders of groups that help tribal people are also supporting the family and asking for a special court to try the case quickly.
A protest was held at the Asifabad Collectorate regarding the alleged honour killing of Thalandi Shravani.
Shravani, 21, and Shekhar married against his family's wishes.
Shravani was from the Pardhan tribal community and Shekhar is from the Bestha community.
Shravani was murdered by her father-in-law, Sathaiah, on October 18, 2025.
The victim's family is seeking strict action and compensation from the government.
