The "Justice for Bhavyasri" campaign seeks fairness for a 17-year-old girl, Bhavya Sri, Chittoor District of Andhra Pradesh. She was found deceased in a well on August 21, 2023, following her disappearance. Initially, the police considered it a suicide, but her family and friends suspect foul play due to her injuries and torn clothes.
Bhavyasree, a resident of Venugopalapura, disappeared on the 17th of this month. The following day, the police registered a case of suspicious death based on a complaint filed by the student’s father, Munikrishnaiah. Someone found Bhavyashri dead in a well at the upper pond on the 20th.
They shifted her body to Chittoor Government Hospital for postmortem, and the police are conducting an investigation based on the forensic report. They have already detained and questioned four youths in connection with this case.
SI Anil Kumar revealed that the postmortem found no injuries on her body. We have taken samples to test for signs of violence or poisoning. The question remains whether she drowned and suffocated. The police are sending the sternum bone samples to Tirupati RFSL for chemical analysis in order to determine whether they brought her body from elsewhere and dumped it in the well.
The police have arrested four suspects in connection with the death of Bhavya Sri, but they have not yet charged them. The family and friends of Bhavyasri are demanding that the police conduct a thorough investigation and bring the perpetrators to justice.
Doubts about her death
Her father, Munikrishna, along with other villagers, has expressed doubts about her death, alleging that she was raped and murdered. They have demanded a thorough investigation and punishment for the culprits. The police have detained two suspects and are in the process of detaining two more for questioning.
The post-mortem report revealed no injuries on Bhavyashri’s body, and the police stated that her hair had fallen out due to being in the water for three days. However, the villagers did not accept this explanation.
Leaders of the Vaddera community protested at the Penumuru police station, alleging negligence and bias in the investigation. They were pacified after Chittoor DSP Srinivasamurthy assured them of a fair investigation and immediate arrest of the suspects.
The police are awaiting a report from the Tirupati lab for further clarity on Bhavyashri’s death. Meanwhile, the tragic incident has left the village in mourning and raised serious concerns about the safety of young women.
The death of Bhavya Sri, which has sent shockwaves through Penumuru and beyond, is disturbing and tragic. As we navigate through the complexities of this heart-wrenching incident, it is crucial to exercise patience and await the official findings of the ongoing police investigation. The narrative that has emerged from a social media post, although deeply troubling, remains unverified.
The collective yearning for truth and justice in this distressing case is reflected across social media platforms by the reverberating hashtag #JusticeForBhavyaSri. Those who demand answers keep Bhavya Sri's memory alive in their hearts, and the grieving family and community can hope to find closure through a transparent and impartial inquiry.

The "Justice for Bhavya Sri" campaign, supported widely on social media via the hashtag #JusticeForBhavyaSri, is gaining momentum in its quest for justice. The Indian media has also covered this campaign, mounting pressure on the police to conduct a thorough investigation.
On September 26, 2023, Bhavya Sri's family and friends staged a protest in front of the Chittoor police station. During this demonstration, they urged justice for her. The District Superintendent of Police received a memorandum from them. In this document, they requested the transfer of the case to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
This campaign highlights the pressing issue of violence against women and girls in India and underscores the importance of police accountability in addressing such cases.
Concerned individuals and activists have gained significant traction on various social media platforms for the hashtag #JusticeForBhavyaSri, in response to this harrowing incident. They are using this hashtag to express their outrage and demand justice for Bhavya Sri.
Bhavya Sri's untimely death has left the community in shock and mourning. As the investigation unfolds, meanwhile, we must await the official findings and rely on verified information.
