Telangana Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka on Monday called on the Chenchu tribal woman who was allegedly tortured for a week by four persons in Nagarkurnool district and assured that the government would take care of medical treatment, besides extending other help.

Vikramarka met the woman at the state-run Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS) here.

The woman, who was initially treated at a state-run hospital in Nagarkurnool district, was shifted to the NIMS for better treatment.

Expressing anguish over the attack on the 27-year-old woman, Vikramarka said the government would take care of her treatment till she recovers fully.

The government would provide a house to her under the Indiramma poor people's housing if she does not own a house, education for her children in a state-run social welfare school and also land for cultivation, he said.

Observing that the accused have already been sent to jail on remand, the deputy chief minister said the government would take tough measures after obtaining full information on the incident.

Vikramarka was accompanied by state Excise Minister Jupally Krishna Rao, who had met her earlier at the Nagarkurnool hospital.

Four persons were arrested for allegedly torturing the Chenchu tribal woman after she did not turn up for work in a agricultural land, police said on June 22.

The woman was assaulted by the four accused, including her sister and brother-in-law in Molachintalapally village of Nagarkurnool district. She was rescued after some villagers took up the matter with the police.
