Arrest the culprit of Unnao rape

The incident of the alleged rape of 18-year-old Unnao girl by a ruling BJP MLA named Kuldeep Singh Sengar and the subsequent death of her father in jail have been hogging the headlines of the newspapers of the nation for the last three days. But no action has yet been taken against the rape accused by the UP police. The rape survivor also accused the district administration of keeping her and her family in confinement. This is the position of law and order in UP under CM Yogi Adityanath. It has been reported that even the FIR has not been lodged against the accused MLA. He wields so much influence in the areas that the police dare not touch him. They are even not prepared to lodge FIR against him as stated by the rape survivor. She accused BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar and his associates of raping her last year. As the MLA has political and muscle power, he got the rape survivor's father jailed and allegedly beaten him so mercilessly that he died, though autopsy reports suggest infection in wounds as the cause of death. Sengar's brother has been arrested, but he himself is at large. Yogi Aditynath government of BJP boasts of dealing with criminals very strictly and police have been given go ahead signal to do encounter with criminals to finish them without any reservation, but when CM's own party MLA is allegedly involved in the rape case, no action is taken. It is nothing but the mockery of law and order in the largest state of UP, which has perennially been defamed for crimes. If the BJP govt. and the Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's statement had matched his action, the rape accused BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar would have been arrested immediately on the day the rape survivor came to immolate herself in front of CM's residence in Lucknow. CM Yogi should have immediately taken cognizance of her attempt to immolate herself because police had refused to lodge the complaint against the rape accused MLA. On the one hand, Prime Minister Narendra Modi gives a long speech and attractive slogan for encouraging and promoting girls in the country and they are raped by none other than the BJP MLA in UP on the other. It is the most shameful incident and all of us hang our heads in shame. The UP police must arrest the accused MLA without waiting for the SIT investigation report. There must be a thorough investigation into the incident but at the same time, the situation demands that the accused MLA must be arrested immediately. All claims of CM Yogi Adityanath govt. appear to be hollow. The state govt. appears to be helpless before the criminal, who is an MLA. There must be rule of law in the state. The people voted BJP to power with a massive mandate in UP. They hoped that it would finish goondaraj from the state. But in return what they have got is only the goondaism. The BJP must also expel the rape accused MLA immediately from the party to set a record. It is baffling that what weakness is there behind not arresting the rape accused MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar.
