CM Yogi’s ‘bulldozer action’ sees bakery of rape-accused SP leader razed in Ayodhya
Hindustan TimesA bakery owned by the main accused in the gang rape of a 12-year-old girl in Ayodhya was demolished on Saturday, a day after Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath met with the victim's mother and assured her of justice. Bakery owner Moid Khan, who is a Samajwadi Party functionary in Bhadrasa, and his employee Raju Khan were arrested from the Purakalandar area in connection with the case on July 30. Ayodhya MP and SP leader Awadhesh Prasad, meanwhile, feigned ignorance of Khan’s actions and avoided media inquiries on the matter. The victim’s mother, following her meeting with the chief minister at his official residence in Lucknow, told the media, “CM has assured that there will be bulldozer action and exemplary punishment for the culprit.” "I met the family members of the victim from Ayodhya, along with Dr Amit Singh Chauhan, the MLA from Bikapur constituency in Ayodhya district," the chief minister said on X.
