Rani

They both scold me and beat me often. They make me work outside, at an internet center, and they take away the money

Rani's mother Pushpa got separated from her husband and has been living with one Anki Reddy in Rajahmundry and they moved to Hyderabad some time back. After the woman got two daughters with Anki, Rani was pulled out of school and made to work for extra income. “They both scold me and beat me often. They make me work outside, at an internet center, and they take away the money,” she said.

However, inspector Md Waheeduddin said they have not registered any case and that the matter was sorted out after counseling the mother of the girl. However, NGO Balala Hakkula Sangham president Achyuta Rao demanded action against the mother. "It is a cognizable offence. How can the cops just compromise the case?" he said.
