Priyanka Gandhi wrote on Instagram, ‘Two minor girls, victims of gang rape in Kanpur, committed suicide. Now the father of those girls has also committed suicide. It is alleged that pressure was being put on the victim’s family to compromise. In Uttar Pradesh, if victimized girls and women ask for justice, it has become a rule to destroy their families. From Unnao, Hathras to Kanpur, wherever women were tortured, their families were destroyed. Being a woman has become a crime in this jungle raj where there is no such thing as law left. After all, what should crores of women of the state do, where should they go?
Last month, two girls were found hanging from a tree in a field near the brick kiln where they were working in a village in Ghatampur area. This incident allegedly happened a few days after the rape. Family members have alleged that a few days ago, brick kiln contractor Ramroop Nishad (48), his son Raju (18) and nephew Sanjay (19) had raped the minor girls.Additional CP (Law and Order) Harish Chandra Told that all three accused have been arrested. According to the families, the accused had also made a video of the act to blackmail the 16 and 14 year old girls, which led them to take the extreme step.
