2 hours of brutality! Only protectors of law became hunters? Kanpur gangrape case shook the system. Kanpur Minor Gangrape Youtuber Police Si Accused Sachendi Case Up News

Kanpur Gang Rape Case: Kanpur gangrape case is once again raising big questions regarding women and child safety in Uttar Pradesh. While a YouTuber has been arrested on charges of kidnapping and gangrape of a 14-year-old minor girl for two hours, the accused police sub-inspector is still absconding. In this entire matter, the initial action of the police, the delay in the POCSO Act and the action taken against the officers have put the working style of the system in the dock.

How did the minor get kidnapped?

According to the police, the victim was present near her house at around 10 pm on Monday night, when she was forcibly taken into a Mahindra Scorpio. The girl has left studies after seventh grade and the financial condition of the family is said to be weak. It is alleged that after the kidnapping, he was taken to a deserted area near the railway track.

What happened at that deserted place for two hours?

According to the victim’s statement, the accused YouTuber and the police sub-inspector beat and gang-raped her for about two hours. During this time she kept shouting for help, but no one was present nearby. After reaching critical condition, the accused threw him out of his house in an unconscious state.

Who are the accused and what action has been taken so far?

Police have registered the names of YouTuber Shivbaran Yadav and Sub-Inspector Amit Kumar Maurya in the FIR. The YouTuber has been arrested, while the police SI is absconding. Four special police teams have been formed to nab him. The SUV used in the crime has also been seized.

Why were questions raised on the role of police?

The victim’s family alleges that when they pointed out the involvement of a policeman, they were initially chased away from the police station. The family says that an attempt was made to suppress the matter. This is the reason why the SHO was accused of negligence and misrepresenting the facts. The biggest question is why POCSO Act was not imposed in the initial phase. Due to this mistake, Sachendi police station in-charge Vikram Singh has been suspended. Apart from this, DCP (West) has also been removed, which clearly shows that the matter is being considered very serious.

Is this a major system failure?

Political reactions have also intensified after this incident. Former CPI(M) MP Subhashini Ali has expressed displeasure over the increasing crimes against women. The Police Commissioner has assured that the investigation will be transparent and the culprits will not be spared. At present, the arrest of the accused police SI remains the biggest question. This case is not only a crime story, but also shows how difficult the path to justice becomes when the accused is in uniform.
