Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) president Mayawati on Wednesday alleged the morale of criminal elements in Uttar Pradesh is very high, after a Dalit man was killed in the Chillupar area of Gorakhpur district. The former four time U.P. Chief Minister asked the State government to take immediate cognizance of the incident and initiate strict action against the accused under appropriate sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
“Another example of how high the morale of criminal elements is in Uttar Pradesh was seen today in Rudauli of Chillupar area under Gorakhpur, when a gang of illegal miners attacked a Dalit family, killing one person and injuring many others. This is very sad and condemnable,” wrote Ms. Mayawati on Twitter.
“The State government should take immediate cognizance of the incident and take strict action against all the named people under appropriate sections and also take strict action against such social and political crimes/harassment so that criminal elements can be curbed. This is the demand of the BSP,” she added.
