Lucknow, June 15 (ANI): Condemning the murder of a minor girl within the compound of Nighasan police station in Lakhimpur District, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati on Wednesday accused the opposition parties of playing politics over the murder case.
Addressing a press conference here, Mayawati said: "Opposition parties should stop playing politics and help the government in arresting the culprits."
Assuring strong action in the case, Mayawati said the government will take the strictest possible action against the accused.
Mayawati also said that the state government is hesitant in transferring the case to Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) because of the fear that the result will be the same as the Aarushi Talwar murder case.
The Congress had earlier charged the Mayawati Government claiming that the authorities are trying to shield the accused in the case.
"The state government is trying everything to sabotage the case. The way the chief minister is carrying on the inquiry, it is very clear that she is trying to protect the criminals there, which in this case is the UP police," said Uttar Pradesh Congress chief Rita Bahuguna Joshi.
"We have proved that she was murdered. We will also prove that there was an attempt to rape her," she added.
Condemning the inident, Minister of State for Women and Child Development Krishna Tirath said that the Mayawati Government was insensitive and not doing much about the issue. .
"I think what happened was very wrong. I have already written to the National Commission for Women regarding the murder of a minor girl in Lakhimpur. After getting a report from them, I can take some action." said Tirath.
Tirath also informed the media that she has written a letter to Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram, appealing to him to take immediate action in the case.
The second autopsy conducted on the minor girl's body, which was found hanging from a tree within the compound of Nighasan police station in Uttar Pradesh"s Lakhimpur District on Friday night, yesterday confirmed that the victim was murdered.
The Uttar Pradesh Government has ordered a CB-CID probe into the case.
