Mayawati lauds Hyderabad police action

Saturday, 07 December 2019 | PNS | Lucknow

Bahujan Samaj Party president Mayawati has praised the Hyderabad police for its “strong action” against the four accused in the Hyderabad gang-rape and murder case.

Reacting to the killing of the four persons accused of gang-rape and murder of a 25-year-old veterinarian in Hyderabad, Mayawati said the action against the rape accused was praiseworthy and asked the Delhi and Uttar Pradesh Police to learn a lesson from their Hyderabad colleagues.

“Crimes against women are on the rise in Uttar Pradesh, but the state government is sleeping. This is happening every day not just in one district but in every district. Be it young girls or aged women, nobody is being spared. There is jungle raj in UP,” the BSP chief said, adding that when she was chief minister she had acted even against members of her own party.

The former chief minister of Uttar Pradesh asked the state police to take inspiration from Hyderabad police and take stern action against culprits in such cases.

“Uttar Pradesh and Delhi police will have to change,” she added.

Interestingly, the Uttar Pradesh Police, in response to the BSP supremo, came out with statistics to counter her claims and said that “jungle raj is a thing of the past”.

The official Twitter account of Uttar Pradesh Police in a tweet said that 103 criminals had been killed and 1,859 had been injured in 5,178 police engagements in the past two years and a total of 17,745 criminals had “surrendered or cancelled their own bails to go to jail”.

“The figures speak for themselves. Jungle raj is a thing of the past. No longer now. 103 criminals killed and 1859 injured in 5178 police engagements in the last more than 2 years. 17745 criminals surrendered or cancelled their own bails to go to jail. Hardly state guests,” the tweet stated.
