Ayodhya (Uttar Pradesh) [India], February 2 : After the Samajwadi Party Lok Sabha MP Awadhesh Prasad lashed out at the BJP as the body of a missing Dalit woman was found in a canal in Ayodhya, UP minister Swatantra Dev Singh said that the state does not have SP government and so no accused will be spared.
An unclothed body of the Dalit woman, who was missing, was found in the canal near her village in Ayodhya, with her family alleging murder.
Awadhesh Prasad on Sunday broke down at a press conference after the unclothed body of a Dalit girl was found in a village in Uttar Pradesh.
Addressing a press conference, Prasad broke down and said that if justice is not served, he would resign from the Lok Sabha. He was seen being consoled by fellow panelists at the press conference.
"What is this drama he is doing? There is law and order in the state. No accused will be spared. Samajwadi Party govt is not in the state. The accused will be punished...," said Swatantra Dev Singh.
Earlier, Ayodhya SSP Rajkaran Nayyar informed that police have detained a suspect for questioning and formed special teams to probe the case.
SSP Nayyar said, "On 31st January 2025, information was received at Darshan Nagar Chowki that a girl was asleep with her sister on the night of 30th January but the girl was missing when the sister woke up the next morning. She informed the police about the same. Police registered a case and formed two teams to look for the girl. The body of the girl has been found in a field this morning. Senior officials and the forensics team reached the spot and collected scientific evidence.
"Prima facie, it seems that the murder did not happen on the spot, the girl was murdered somewhere else and her body was disposed of in the field. The case will be cracked soon and the guilty will be given the strictest punishment through fast-track court. All teams are working towards it," he added.
Meanwhile, Priyanka Maurya, member of UP Women Commission met victim's family and assured them of justice. Speaking to ANI after meeting the victim's family Maurya said, "It is a very sad incident. I came here to meet the family members of the victim. I assured the family that justice will be served. Whoever has committed this crime should understand that Yogi Govt is in the state and the family will get justice."
