On Saturday (April 25, 2026), a war of words erupted with the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha over the death of a girl hailing from the Vishwakarma community in Uttar Pradesh’s Ghazipur district. Rahul Gandhi demands a high-level investigation into the incident and immediate justice. Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav also sought justice for the family.
“Rape and brutal murder of a daughter from Vishwakarma community in Ghazipur, Uttar Pradesh and then threats and violence to prevent the family from filing a first information report (FIR). Hathras, Kathua, Unnao and today Ghazipur – this is a pattern. A daughter from Manipur died while waiting for justice. Every time it is the same victim, poor, come back – the victim. criminals, harassing the victim every time the same silence – those who had to speak, the government of the country and the state where the parents have to plead to register an FIR against their daughter, action should be taken against the guilty cops, the family should be given security, a high level inquiry should be initiated and Mr. Gandhi should be brought to justice immediately.
