Congress state president Ajay Rai visited the family of a 14-year-old rape survivor in Kanpur on Wednesday. He met them alongside party workers and launched a sharp attack on the police and the state's law and order situation.
Serious Allegations Against Police
Rai accused the police of actively helping the accused sub-inspector escape. He stated that people from the officer's own department provided protection and assisted in his flight. The Congress leader called the announcement of a reward for the accused a mere show. He insisted that, in reality, the police were shielding the criminal.
Protectors Become Predators
Attacking the government, Ajay Rai said a shocking transformation has occurred. "The protectors have become predators," he declared. He expressed deep shame that those responsible for public security now pose a threat. Rai vowed that the Congress party would take this battle to the streets to seek justice.
Collapse of Law and Order
The Congress leader asserted that law and order has completely broken down under the Yogi government. He emphasized that daughters are no longer safe in the state. While offering consolation to the grieving family, he assured them of the party's full support. The entire Congress party stands firmly with the survivor's family, he promised.
Demands for Justice
Ajay Rai laid out clear demands for action in the case:
- An impartial and thorough investigation must be conducted immediately.
- The accused sub-inspector should be arrested without any further delay.
- The guilty officer must receive the strictest possible punishment under the law.
The visit and strong statements highlight growing political pressure over the handling of this sensitive case in Kanpur.
