2 Women molested in UP by 14 men ; Keep Women Indoors, reacts Azam Khan

Four people have been arrested in Rampur for allegedly molesting two women in broad daylight, under the Uttar Pradesh Control Of Goondas Act, 1970, UP police said on Monday. The accused have been identified as Shahnawaz, Saddam, Danish and Farman.

 

In the video, around 12 to 14 men can be seen molesting the two girls. While the girls beg to be spared, the boys can be heard making jokes and filming the incident for social media.

A police probe is underway in the matter.

'Keep Your Women Indoors'

Reacting to news of the incident, Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan told ANI that girls should avoid going to such



areas. After the Bulandshahr incident, men should keep their women indoors, he said.

"Ladkiyon ko bhi aisi jagahon par nahi jaani chahiye jahan besharmi ka nanga naach hota hai... Bulandshahr ke haadse ke baad har sakhs ko kamse kam apni ghar ki aurat ko, koshish karna chahiye ghar mein rakhen".

He also said that the incident did not come as a surprise as it was the latest in a series of crimes that the state had witnessed under the new government. After assuming office in March, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath launched 'Anti-Romeo' squads - aimed at curbing eve-teasing in public areas and to ensure the safety of girls in the state.
