Hindustan Times  

The Uttar Pradesh police on Sunday arrested three people and charged them with gang-rape for allegedly sexually assaulting a student inside the Indian Institute of Technology campus in November. Opposition leaders shared on social media the purported images of the three accused with various BJP leaders and launched an attack on the chief minister Yogi Adityanath-led state government. “Every woman across the country is seeing how the BJP is playing with women’s dignity and protecting those accused of atrocities,” former chief minister and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav posted on X. “The person who gang-raped an IIT BHU student is none other than BJP’s Kunal Pandey, convener of Mahanagar IT cell, and Saksham Patel, who is the PA of Dilip Patel,” he posted. “Under the BJP government, even after having an association with the party, a person who has committed a crime will be arrested and get strict punishment,” party spokesperson Rakesh Tripathi said.
