this is the case
The shopkeeper, resident of Mehdawal police station area of Sant Kabir Nagar district, along with his four daughters and an eight-year-old son lived on rent in the house of BJP leader Masoom Raza Rahi in a ward of the city. On August 28, a BJP leader raped the elder daughter of a shopkeeper who had a pani pakoda shop on the footpath. He was also continuously molesting the younger daughter. When the victim businessman protested against this act, the accused beat him up.
Action not taken under the influence of BJP leader
When the victim reached the city police station demanding action against this act of the BJP leader, instead of taking action against the accused, the police, under influence, brokered a compromise and restrained both the parties in breach of peace. The victim’s family became frightened after not getting justice from the police. In the evening, the victim’s father’s health suddenly deteriorated under mysterious circumstances. In critical condition, he was admitted to the district hospital and from there to a private hospital in the city, where he died on August 31.
Cause of death not clear in post mortem
