The daylight murder of Roshni Ahirwar, a 21-year-old BA student, has sparked outrage and raised questions about the law and order situation in Uttar Pradesh. The assailants shot her in the head and fled the scene, leaving the gun behind. The police have arrested one person and are interrogating him based on a complaint lodged by the victim's parents.
The incident has drawn sharp criticism towards the Yogi Adityanath-led state government, with social media users questioning the safety of women and the effectiveness of law enforcement. The video of the incident has gone viral on social media, further fueling the outrage.
Atiq Ahmed's killers moved to Pratapgarh jail over security concerns
This comes just two days after the daylight murder of Atiq Ahmed, a dreaded gangster-turned-politician, in front of TV cameras in Prayagraj, which also raised questions about the state of law and order in Uttar Pradesh.
The Rashtriya Janata Dal has targeted the UP government, asking if the BJP and the "wolves of Godi media" will celebrate this death too. The police have assured that they are investigating the incident and will catch the accused soon.
