Varanasi Gangrape Case,For the past few days, a sensational case has been caught in the city of Varanasi, which has been called the heart of Uttar Pradesh, which has shook the general public to the administration. The alleged gang rape of a 19 -year -old woman from Lalpur Pandeypur police station area has shocked the entire district. After this horrific incident, where the police sent 14 accused behind bars, now the new twist in the case came when the victim’s friend and the family members of the accused themselves went to the public relations office of Prime Minister Narendra Modi with a plea for justice.
The voice of justice echoes on the Prime Minister’s Office
As soon as a large number of people started gathering at the Prime Minister Public Relations Office at Jawahar Nagar Extension, there was a panic in the police department. The crowd was stopped at Gurudham intersection itself, but after a while the victim’s friend and the accused side were allowed to go to the PM office. A memorandum was submitted to ACP Bhelupur there, demanding a high -level inquiry into the entire case.
Full layers of the case: The alleged scandal took place between March 29 to April 3
According to the FIR, between March 29 and April 3, the woman was gang-raped by 12 nominated and 11 unidentified youths at different places. Not only this, after the rape, he was thrown outside many areas of the city – Lanka, Hukulganj, Nadesar, Maldhiya, Sigra IP Mall, Assi Ghat, Chaukaghat, Aurangabad and two hotels. The girl had also reached her friend’s house twice, but due to fear and threat, she could not say anything openly.
14 accused arrested, the question of family members – why action on one side?
The police, while taking action fast, have arrested 14 accused and sent them to jail. However, the accused party says that the case has not been investigated fairly and only one side is being heard. According to him, the role of the victim’s friend is also suspicious, which should be investigated deeply. Many family members are also saying that their sons are innocent and are being implicated.
Questions raised on media silence, boil on social media
There is also a ruckus on social media about this high profile case. Many users are questioning that when the incident is so serious, why is the national media silent on it? At the same time, local journalists say that the police and administration are extremely sensitive about this matter, so that there is no rumor or communal tension.
Questions raised again on the safety of women
This is not the first incident in Varanasi when serious questions have arisen about the safety of women. Even before this, incidents of molestation, exploitation and rape have been reported many times. But this time the matter has become even more sensitive due to the Prime Minister being directly related to the parliamentary constituency. The arrest of the woman’s age only 19 years and so many accused has raised serious questions on the law and order of the state.
Political color is also holding the case
Now this matter is not limited to crime, but political color is also seen dissolving in it. Opposition parties have accused the administration of unilateral action. Local leaders of Samajwadi Party, Congress and Aam Aadmi Party have issued a statement and questioned the fairness of justice. Some organizations have warned that if the justified action is not taken in this case soon, they will agitate the statewide.
PMO silence: Will there be any concrete steps?
Although no official statement has come from the Prime Minister’s Office so far, it is expected that the local administration may get any instructions from the center after the steps taken by the victim’s friend and the accused side. On the other hand, the police say that the investigation is going on fast and no convict will be spared.
People demand: Investigation of CCTV footage and forensic report public
Local citizens and social workers have demanded that the CCTV footage of the areas where the victim was released and the forensic report should be made public so that no party would be scope for suspicion. Also, proper security and counseling should be given to the victim so that she can fight the fight for justice firmly.
Will Varanasi become an example of law and order reform or another ignorant case?
The question is this – will the Varanasi administration set an example of justice by making this matter an example, or will this case remain in the balance due to any pressure, bargain or political interference? When the matter is of the parliamentary constituency of the Prime Minister of the country, the responsibility increases even more. It remains to be seen in which direction further investigation and action goes.
