In the Karhal assembly constituency, where voting for the by-polls is underway, a shocking news has surfaced. A dalit woman’s naked body was found in a sack near Kanjhra bridge in Uttar Pradesh. The deceased woman has been identified as Durga (23), daughter of Shishupal.
‘Killed For Not Voting For SP’
According to reports, the girl had been missing since Tuesday. The family of the deceased woman claim that she was raped before being murdered. They have accused a person named Prashant Yadav for the crime, citing political motives. Reportedly, her mother told media that Prashant Yadav, a supporter of the Samajwadi Party, and his friends came to their house the day before the election. She said, “They asked us to support the Samajwadi Party. We told them that we are BJP supporters and would vote for the lotus symbol.”
The family alleged that the girl had expressed her desire to vote for the BJP in the by-polls which enraged Prashant. The deceased’s mother further claimed that Prashant Yadav had also threatened them of dire consequences for not voting for the Samajwadi party. According to the family the threats were issued on November 19 and two people had forcibly taken away their daughter on a bike. Today on November 20, her mutilated body was discovered in a sack.
BJP Slams SP
The BJP leader Amit Malviya took to X and attacked the Samajwadi party over the incident. Sharing a video of the deceased mother’s statement he tweeted, “The misdeeds of the red-capped goons have once again come to light. The red-capped goons of Akhilesh Yadav, who champions the slogan of PDA, have brutally murdered a Dalit girl in Karhal. Akhilesh Yadav should control the goons in his party; otherwise, the law and administration are there to take action.”
लाल टोपी वाले गुंडों का कुकृत्य एक बार फिर सबके सामने है। PDA का नारा देने वाले अखिलेश यादव के लाल टोपी वाले गुंडों ने करहल में दलित बेटी की निर्मम हत्या कर दी। अखिलेश यादव को अपनी पार्टी के गुंडों को नियंत्रण में रखना चाहिए नहीं तो कानून और प्रशासन तो है ही। https://t.co/HZEhADK8YR pic.twitter.com/YQPbrRQ8B1
