“I was grieved after coming to know Datchayini had sustained severe spinal injuries. Considering the situation of her health and her family and considering her future, I have
directed a sum of Rs 10 lakh from Chief Minister’s Public Relief Fund for her,” she said in a statement.
This money will be deposited in fixed deposit which will give the victim a monthly interest of Rs 8,125, the Chief Minister said, adding she has directed the authorities to
provide best medical treatment to the woman.
She had deputed her cabinet colleagues C Vijaybaskar, V Saroja and Nilofer Kafeel to meet Datchayini on her behalf and give her all necessary help.
