Days after a tehsildar was burnt alive inside her office, several revenue officials in Telangana are claiming to have been receiving threats from unidentified persons. While a worried tahsildar has gone on leave, a revenue divisional officer (RDO) filed a complaint with police after a cop threatened him that he would meet the same fate Vijaya Reddy faced on November 4 in her office.
K Rajendra Kumar, RDO of Kamareddy district, approached police on the very same day on which Vijaya was set on fire, after receiving a call from an unknown person who threatened him that he too would be burned alive if he did not resolve his land dispute.
SP K Swetha Reddy told TOI on Thursday that after a preliminary enquiry, they have identified the person who made the call as armed reserve (AR) constable Srinivas Reddy. “We have taken the complaint and put up the matter before the court,” she said. The SP said an FIR would be filed under Section 506 (criminal intimidation) of the IPC.
Meanwhile, revenue employees at Maripeda tehsildar office in Mahabubabad district were allegedly threatened by a farmer who came to the office with petrol in a bottle. He kept it on the table and shouted at them. He apparently wants them to solve his land issue.
