The Cockroach Janta Party expresses its strongest condemnation of the horrific attack on Gopika, a Class 10 girl student, at the Raptadu Zilla Parishad High School in Anantapur district on 31 October 2026. A man (identified as Hemanth, age 21) entered the classroom during school hours, in the presence of a teacher and classmates, and brutally attacked her with a chainsaw, inflicting severe injuries to her face, head, neck, and body. Another student (Lakshmi) was injured while courageously trying to intervene. The girl remains in critical condition. This is not merely a crime; it is an act of pure savagery that has no place in any civilised society. Media reports confirm the attacker had allegedly been harassing the girl after she rejected his advances and threatened to inform her parents. It is deeply infuriating that in our society, women and young girls continue to face such horrific, life-threatening consequences simply for exercising their autonomy and rejecting someone’s unwanted advances. This horrific incident highlights a systemic failure to protect women, exposing how vulnerable they remain to male entitlement and violent retaliation. How could a psychopath like perpetrator in this case even think he could walk into a school and do this to a child? This goes beyond a failure of school gates; it exposes a complete lack of the rule of law and accountability in the state. When criminals operate with total impunity, it breeds a dangerous mindset where attackers feel empowered to execute such monstrous acts without a shred of fear. The deeper problem is profoundly societal and political, a culture where the fear of swift justice has vanished, allowing such lawlessness to thrive. When a minor can be attacked in broad daylight inside her school with a deadly weapon, and when the state machinery is reduced to reacting after the fact, the safety of women and our children has been completely compromised. The TDP-led NDA government in AP must answer why multiple lapses of this magnitude continue to happen in Andhra Pradesh. We demand Immediate and stringent action, a fast-track trial and the strictest possible punishment under the law, with no delays or dilution of charges, to re-establish the fear of law and complete accountability. A thorough school safety audit has to conducted across the state of Andhra Pradesh at the earliest. The safety and dignity of women and school children are non-negotiable. We stand with the victims and their families and call upon the government to treat this as a wake-up call rather than another isolated incident. Failure to act will only confirm that law and order in Andhra Pradesh is collapsing under the TDP administration.
