Dr Subba Reddy established People's Hospital in Bodhan and used to serve the people. He also encouraged his children to take part in democratic organisations. Com Bharathi participated actively in SFI. In her school days, in January 1980, school head master introduced new rules that students must come with a new set of uniform. The students refused saying that as in the course of two months they were going to leave the institution they could not afford to buy the new uniform. Com Bharathi took an active part in this struggle. She was the first district President of SFI, Nizamabad. The entire family of Com Bharathi became an eyesore for the vested interests in that area and they had planned to eliminate them. Some miscreants brutally murdered her parents who were sleeping outside the house, entered the house and inserted iron rods into the eyes of the children including Com Bharathi and killed them. After fighting with death for one month, she lost out and ended her life in May, 1981.
