LUCKNOW – Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Saturday demanded a DNA test of Moin Khan, the SP leader accused of raping a 12-year-old girl in Ayodhya.
Moin Khan is a close associate of Samajwadi Party MP from Faizabad, Awadhesh Prasad. Earlier in the day, the district administration demolished Moin Khan’s bakery in the Purakalandar police station area of Ayodhya.
Taking to microblogging site X, Akhilesh said, “Justice can be met by getting DNA tests done of those accused, and not by merely making allegations and doing politics. Whoever is guilty should be given full punishment according to the law, but if the allegations are proven false after the DNA test, then the government officials involved should also not be spared. This is the demand for justice.”
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had on Friday raised the rape issue in the Assembly. Cornering the Samajwadi Party, he had asked why no action had been taken against the SP leader till now. Yogi had said that no culprit would be spared. -IANS
