Even expecting justice a crime under BJP govt: Rahul Gandhi after girls' bodies found hanging from tree in UP
Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday slammed the Uttar Pradesh government after the bodies of two teenage girls were found hanging from a tree in Fatehgarh and said even expecting justice under a BJP dispensation is a crime. The Dalit girls, aged 18 and 15, had left their homes around 10 pm on Monday to visit a nearby temple on the occasion of Janmashtami but did not return, police said.
Their bodies were found hanging from a tree in a mango orchard outside a village in Fatehgarh on Tuesday, with the police launching an investigation into what it prima facie believed to be a case of double suicide.
«Even expecting justice under a BJP government is a crime! What can one expect from those whose priority is not justice but hiding the crime even in the most serious incidents against the weak and the deprived?» Gandhi said in a post on X in Hindi.
The incident in Farrukhabad is very unfortunate, such an attitude of the administration towards the victim's family cannot be tolerated at any cost, he said and shared the video of the father of the deceased girls seeking justice.
