Hyderabad: Shaik Kareemulla, a journalist with a Telugu TV news channel, TV5 & his wife, Sirisha, a former anchor with TV9, suffered injuries when her family allegedly threw acid on them on Tuesday at their Srinagar Colony apartment. Both were admitted to Apollo Hospital at Jubilee Hills. While Kareem’s condition is said to be critical, Sirisha is being treated for burns on her hands & chest. Kareem & Sirisha got married on March 22, 2008, against the wishes of her parents. Kareem reportedly divorced his first wife. After marriage, Sirisha’s parents had lodged complaints with the police but since she is a major, no case was pursued.
A senior official of Banjara Hills Police said, “Sirisha’s father M Sambasiva Rao, a retired employee of ASI, mother Krishna Kumari & brother M Kiran Babu, came to Kareem’s house around 9.30 am. After a heated argument, Kareem was attacked by Sirisha’s father & brother”. The official said that Kiran Babu threw acid on Kareem’s face, chest & hands resulting in his suffering severe burns. His eyes too got damaged in the attack. Sirisha who tried to intervene when acid was thrown at Kareem also suffered burns.
this horrible act of throwing acid on the face of kareem caused immense mental agony to me. the culprits should be punished severely. i feel physical attacks on any person should be condemned and they have no place in a civilized world.
To sirisha and kareem
you will be recover soon.my best wishes
In civilized society no one has right for physical attacks and such acts should be condemned. we are in democratic country and every individual has right to choose their patners. I hope and wish both Kareem & Sirisha recover soon and have a wonder life.
My sincere wishes to both of you.
Sir,
Pl note that the damaged caused to the public properties during the Bandhs should be treated as crime. All the damages should be recoverd from the concerned party fund who-ever calls for a Bandh.
Instead our political-leaders are protecting the people who cause damage to the public properties and donating plots, cash and many other favour to the people who are participating in the bandh.
Government should brand such people as illegal, rowdy sheeters and Gundas
It has become sickening of the blady Bandhs. It is so much of loss to the Individuals as well as to the government which in turn is again a burden to the each individual. Govt. should understand the urgency of this realisation and implement measures to abandon the act of destroying the public properties. It is high time for the government to act on war-footing-basis instead of having obligations on this act.
Hope Government will udnerstand the feeling of the public
