Actor Upendra's comment on Hyderabad encounter draws flak

Netizens vented out anger over Actor and the chief of Uttama Praja Rajakeeya Party Upendra for his comments on Hyderabad encounter. He questioned if the four suspects raped her and also wondered as to why the encounters are not happening with the popular personalities.

"Earlier, it was said that rowdyism was decreased with the encounter. However, rapes on women can be curbed if the senior officials eye on the encounters. The officials also have to ensure that it is not taken for granted," he tweeted.

ಶೋಷಿತರಿಗೆ ಬೇಗ ನ್ಯಾಯ ಸಿಗುವಂತಾದರೆ..,
ನ್ಯಾಯಾಂಗ ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆಯನ್ನು ಚುರುಕುಗೊಳಿಸಿದರೆ,
ಪೋಲೀಸ್ ತನಿಖೆ ಮತ್ತು ಕೋರ್ಟ್ ವಿಚಾರಣೆ ಸಾರ್ವಜನಿಕರಿಗೆ ಪಾರದರ್ಶಕವಾಗಿ ತೆರೆದಿಟ್ಟರೆ,
ತಪ್ಪಿತಸ್ತರಿಗೆ ಉಘ್ರ ಶಿಕ್ಷೆ ವಿದಿಸಿದರೆ... ಶೋಷಣೆಯೇ ಆಗದಂತ ಸಮಾಜವೇ ನಮ್ಮ ಶಿಕ್ಷಣದ ಗುರಿಯಾದರೆ,
WHY SHOULD ONE ENCOUNTER ?
