Forest Officer C Anitha, who was attacked and injured allegedly by a Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) MLA and his supporters, was discharged from a city hospital on Tuesday.

Anitha was undergoing treatment at the KIMS Hospital after sustaining injuries in the scuffle that broke out at Asifabad between TRS workers, police and forest officers on Saturday (June 29).

Forest officials were attacked allegedly by TRS supporters led by Zilla Parishad Vice Chairman Konaru Krishna when they went to plant saplings at a plot allotted for forest development in Asifabad.
