Hathras murder case shows UP govt's claims about improved safety for women are tenuous

Firstpost  

In the nearly four years that the Yogi Adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh has been in power, a recurring point of criticism against it has been its handling of crimes against women. In the Aligarh case, even as the girl’s body was reportedly found in a semi-nude condition in a field, the police have said that the postmortem report has not indicated any clear evidence of rape. The police’s eagerness to cite the postmortem report even as the results of the forensic test are awaited is particularly troubling in the context of its response to an alleged sexual assault case in Hathras in September 2020. Commenting on this aspect, the Allahabad High Court had observed that it was ‘prima facie an infringement upon the human rights of the victim and her family.’ In 2018, a rape case of a woman from Unnao grabbed national attention due to the involvement of then BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar. Official figures While Uttar Pradesh is often in the news for brutal crimes, especially sexual offences, official figures would suggest that sexual offences against women have declined sharply under the Yogi Adityanath-led government.
