Hyderabad: The Telangana police on Thursday claimed a leader of the banned CPI (Maoist) Party had allegedly sexually assaulted some women cadre.
According to police, despite complaints of sexual harassment by some women working for the outlawed outfit to the CPI (Maoist) Party leadership against Azad, no action was initiated against him.
Bhadradri Kothagudem District Superintendent of Police Sunil Dutt in a release said they got credible information that Azad recently “sexually assaulted” one woman member in forest areas bordering Chhattisgarh.
Though she complained about the incident to the Maoist party leadership, no action was taken by them against Azad, he claimed.
He further alleged that in the past also Azad had sexually harassed other women working for the Maoist party.
Tribal women were forcibly recruited by Maoist party leaders, he added.
