Rahul meets Badaun gang-rape victims’ family, demands CBI probe

Rahul said the Uttar Pradesh police cannot give them justice and the culprits should know that they cannot get away with such a heinous crime.

"They have said that the honour of their daughters cannot be brought back with money. They said they want justice and they have no faith in the UP police as their people are involved. They said that the UP police cannot get them justice. I agree with them, there can be no price for a woman's honour,” said Rahul.

"I am also in agreement with them on what they have said about the CBI inquiry. CBI inquiry should happen," he added.

The Congress vice-president, however, refrained from attacking the Samajwadi Party government which has faced a lot of flak over the sensational crime amid allegations that the local police was hand in glove with the accused.

"Whosoever have committed this crime should know that they cannot do such things in India," Rahul said

The Congress vice-president visited the home of the dalit girls and during the interaction, their family members complained that the police did not act when they approached the local police chowki.

"Had the police acted in time, our daughters would have been alive," father of one of the victims told Rahul.

The Congress leader also walked to the spot where the victims had been found hanging from a tree.
