'Spine-chilling': Akhilesh Yadav criticises UP govt after six-Year-old raped and murdered

Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday condemned the alleged rape and murder of a six-year-old girl in Greater Noida, calling the incident “spine-chilling” and questioning the law and order situation in Uttar Pradesh.

In a post on X, the SP chief said, “The case of the rape and murder of a 6-year-old innocent girl from the minority community in Greater Noida is spine-chilling. The incident came to light after the girl’s family filed a complaint on Friday, August 28, reporting that she had gone missing from home without informing anyone. Police registered an FIR and launched a search operation.

It has instilled fear in the parents of every daughter across the entire state regarding the safety of their little girls. The question is, how has the law and order situation in the state become so lax that criminals no longer fear those in power? Akhilesh Yadav added, “The answer to this question lies in the fact that the way crimes by people from the same community in power are being suppressed and concealed is emboldening other criminals as well.
