Anitha Rani, a doctor posted at Penumur Community Health Centre in Chittoor district, on Tuesday demanded a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the alleged harassment that she was being subjected to by some persons. Dr. Rani, in turn, has alleged that she was being harassed by several people as she is a Dalit. While a CID probe was ordered into the matter, Dr. Anitha Rani said that she had no confidence that the State Government would deliver justice to her. I will knock on the court’s door if the State insists on a CID probe,” Dr. Rani told reporters. Meanwhile, BJP State secretary G. Bhanuprakash Reddy called on Dr. Rani and assured her of the party’s full support.
