Case Filed Against SP Leaders for Threatening Victim’s Family
Earlier, in Ayodhya’s Purakalander police station area, a case was registered against the President of Bhadarsa Nagar Panchayat and two

Samajwadi Party

functionaries for threatening the family of the rape victim to settle the case.
Ramsevak Das of Bharatkund Pipra reported in the FIR that Mohammad Rashid, SP leader Jai Singh Rana, and another person reached the District Women’s Hospital around 11 pm and pressured the victim’s family in the private ward to settle the case. When they refused, they were threatened with death. Nagar Kotwal Ashwani Pandey stated that a case has been registered based on Ramsevak Das’s complaint, and the matter is under investigation.
To recall, the incident occurred in the Pura Kalandar area of Ayodhya in which Moeed Khan and his house help have been accused of raping and blackmailing the 12-year-old girl who worked as a daily wage employee at Khan’s home. Ayodhya police on Thursday arrested Khan on charges of raping the girl for over two months, ending in the girl getting pregnant. They also allegedly video recorded the assault.
“Over two months, Khan continued to sexually abuse her, using the video to intimidate and threaten her. Khan committed these acts with the assistance of Raju, his employee. The crime came to light when the minor became pregnant,” said a police officer. Following the family’s complaint, the police have filed a report against the accused under the

Pocso Act

Sanjay Nishad after visiting the victim’s family in Ayodhya
In an emotional moment, Nishad leader Sanjay Nishad broke down in front of the media after meeting with the Ayodhya rape victim.

He stated, “Akhilesh Yadav’s PDA is a lie. We lead the Nishad community. Nishads are extremely backward and also scheduled. Women are revered in our society, yet she has suffered atrocities. Those who chant PDA slogans and pat themselves on the back after winning in Ayodhya seem to have won with the help of these criminals.”
