Amid outrage and mounting Opposition criticism over the death of a 19-year-old Dalit woman, who was raped allegedly by four upper caste men in Uttar Pradesh’s Hathras, BJP general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya on Wednesday said 'vehicles can overturn anytime in Yogi Adityanath’s state'.
News agency ANI quoted Vijayvargia saying “The accused have been arrested. The case has been sent to a fast-track court. The accused will be sent to jail… Yogi (Adityanath) is the Chief Minister. Main jaanta hun ki unke pradesh mein kabhi bhi gaadi palat jaati hai (I know that in his state, vehicles can overturn anytime).”
His remarks are being seen as a reference to the alleged encounter of gangster Vikas Dubey in July who was gunned down after he tried to escape as the police vehicle he was been taken in overturned.
