Sharing the news report, prominent social activist Kavita Krishnan urged Nobel Laureate Kailash Satyarthi and actress Priyanka Chopra to speak up on the torture. Both of them are prominent faces for working for the child.
India, not long ago, was angry at rape.
Madarsa schoolboys of a UP, tortured by @UPPolice suffered rectal bleeding.
What do you think causes rectal bleeding?
If after this, you choose silence @priyankachopra @k_satyarthi, you lose the right to speak for kids. @UNICEF @NobelPrize pic.twitter.com/Y1Qjmg3eK4— Kavita Krishnan (@kavita_krishnan) January 1, 2020
The Supreme Court , recently, took suo moto cognisance of the sheer number of cases of child rape under POCSO. The court must also take cognisance of the crimes being reported out of U.P. and order a court-monitored investigation into these horrific crimes against children. https://t.co/P080BdLLSI

How can orphan kids get ‘Rectal Bleeding’ in police torture?
It amounts to RAPE of Children, reminding NIRBHAYA incident. There must be judicial inquiry. It is CRIME against humanity, not permissible even during war.
Which country should tolerate this?https://t.co/xTVHV2nViu
