MUZAFFARNAGAR: Days after a six-year-old girl and her mother were allegedly gang-raped in Roorkee, the Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) expelled two of its members whose names were among the accused, according to the union's divisional president Naveen Rathi. Accused Subodh Kakran and Vicky Tomar, both residents of Muzaffarnagar, were members of BKU and were arrested on Thursday.
They were booked under various sections of the IPC and Pocso Act, including gang-rape. Rathi, president of the Saharanpur zone, issued a termination letter to the two which stated, "The two were found indulging in anti-social activities and have therefore been expelled from the BKU with immediate effect. They have nothing to do with the organisation anymore."
