HYDERABAD: Police targeted women students in Osmania University in the attack on Sunday as they were active in the ongoing pro-Telangana agitation, the Human Rights Forum felt.
The Forum presidents of State and city, S. Jeevan Kumar and P. Madhavi respectively, stated in a press release that the police frightened and humiliated women students to dissuade from participating in the movement. The Forum arrived at these findings after speaking to different sections in the university and officials in connection with the recent ‘police attacks’ on students and media on the campus.

Mr. Kumar and Ms. Madhavi urged the government to order judicial inquiry.
