The teen rape survivor, who was assaulted in fields near the highway with her mother, while men in their family were tied up by a gang of men, has said the Supreme Court must penalize Mr Khan for his comments and also monitor the investigation into her attack. The minister’s stand, she has alleged, proves the state will not conduct an impartial inquiry.
Mr Khan’s self-defense has been centred on the argument that he “spoke like a politician” which defeats constitutional sensitivity.
The rape and the alleged police inaction has been used by other parties to buttress their claim of rampant lawlessness in Uttar Pradesh just months before the state starts its preparation for the next polls.
