2 shocking rapes in UP in a single week
After several cases being reported from all across the country of women going through harassment, abuse and rape, on 14th August, a thirteen-year-old girl from the Lakhimpur Kheri district (near Nepal border) was raped and murdered, who went to a nearby field to attend to nature's call.
On being missing for several hours, the girl's father along with some villagers went for a search and found her dead body in a sugarcane field. Shockingly, as per the father's claim the girl's body was strangled, her eyes gouged out and her tongue cut.
Previously in the same week, a six-year-old girl was kidnapped and raped in western UP's Hapur district and was admitted critical in the hospital. The accused was found and arrested.
Report and action
As per the UP police, the post mortem report did not show that the eyes were gouged out or the tongue cut and mentioned that there were sharp scratches near the eyes which were caused by the sugarcane leaves.
The police have arrested two men in connection with the rape as the girl's body was found in of their field.
Ministers like Mayawati condemned the act and called it "extremely shameful". Others called it a 'Gunda Raj' where women and girls were not safe.
Do you think India is Independent even when such devilry devoids people of their freedom?

It is really shameful and condemnable in the strongest words that such heinous criminal acts as Rape is still taking place in different parts our country inspite of hollow talks and promises of our political leaders belonging to different parties of stringent actions to curb such horrible crimes against women, after every such incident! Of late, the State of U.P., has, no doubt become one of the worst crime capital of the country and it appears that almost like "jungal raj" is happening there. It is high time for the citizens to unite and raise their strong voice against such incidents and demand strict accountability of the ruling politicians. Our women can no longer be left vulnerable in this manner making them east target of dreaded criminals.
