In Aurangabad Tanda, Medak district, a tribal farmer, Banoth Kirya received Rs 6,000 under the Rythu bharosa scheme to support his one-acre farm. The aid was a lifeline for his family, but tragedy struck when he spent Rs 2,000 on urgent hospital treatment. His idle son, driven by selfish desires, demanded the entire sum for personal use.
When the father refused, the son’s rage erupted. Brandishing a sickle, he threatened to cut his father’s tongue. The threats escalated into a horrifying act, and the father, unable to defend himself, lost his tongue to his son’s violence. This heartbreaking betrayal shattered the family, highlighting the devastating impact of greed and desperation in rural communities. The farmer, now silenced, faces an uncertain future, while the incident has left the village in shock.
