Congress leader Ranjita Yadav on Friday urged Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav to order the arrest of two police constables, who have been suspended over charges of raping a 14-year-old girl in Badaun.
"It's shameful that a policeman, who is supposed to protect us, rapes a girl..... We appeal to the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister to arrest the culprits, book them under appropriate sections of law and punish them," she said.
The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister has reportedly asked for serious disciplinary action to be taken against the two constables.
According to reports, the girl's family has alleged that two constables dragged her to a car and raped her.
This incident comes just a year after two minor girls were mysteriously found hanging from a tree in Badaun.
