Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brijesh Pathak on Sunday said that the culprits of the Ayodhya rape case will get such harsh punishment that their future generations will remember it.
Attacking the Samajwadi Party, Pathak also alleged that hooliganism and anarchy are in the DNA of the SP. The party last week had called for the DNA testing of the accused.
Pathak, while reacting to SP Chief Akhilesh Yadav urging the court to order protection for the Ayodhya rape survivor considering the “sensitivity” of the case, said, “The culprits of the Ayodhya rape case will get such a harsh punishment, even their (future) generations will remember it.”
Police on July 30 arrested Moid Khan, who runs a bakery in Bhadarsa Nagar of Ayodhya district, and his employee Raju Khan, in connection with the minor’s rape.
According to police, Moid Khan and Raju Khan had raped the girl two months ago and also recorded the act. The incident came to light after the girl was found to be pregnant in a medical checkup.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has alleged that Khan is a member of the Samajwadi Party and is part of the team of Faizabad MP Awadhesh Prasad.
