Reports stated that the recent gangrape and murder of a 26 year old veterinarian from hyderabad has left the country outraged and protesting. Meanwhile citizens and activists alike have come out to demand for justice for the victim by ensuring that all the accused are quickly punished. Furthermore several people have also begun to question and debate the safety of women in the country and the latest to come forward and share their views are none other than tollywood superstars chiranjeevi and Venkatesh.
Moreover, megastar chiranjeevi in a video on social media can be seen addressing women and asking them to store 100 as a contact and to download the Hawkeye app on their smartphones. Perhaps the Hawkeye application is the official application of hyderabad police and there is a special feature for women to be able to reach out to the SHE team or the special division of the city’s police dedicated to women and children’s safety. Actor chiranjeevi at the start of the video said "It's not enough to catch the accused so quickly, but it should be ensured that they are also punished quickly. Only then will people be afraid to commit such crimes".
Venkatesh in the video clip said “Rape and murder is not merely a woman's issue. Why aren’t men or boys coming forward to speak about this issue? Why didn’t they protest or raise their voices? women don't object to being claimed. They have the right to safety. Tell your boys to be civilized members of society. It is not enough to react after something has happened, we need action to take". Perhaps several other stars too took to social media to express their sympathizes and demanded justice for the victim. mahesh babu on twitter wrote “My heartfelt condolences to the families of the girls. Your pain is irreversible! Let's come together to give justice to all the women and young girls in our country... Let's make india safe!!" Moreover, actors anushka shetty and Keerthy suresh too took to social media to express their condolences.
