Yogi in action: Calls on two-time rape victim, orders strict action

He ordered the police to arrest the attackers immediately and also questioned a senior officer on how such an attack could take place.

Yogi Adityanath was back in action and this time he visited a 35-year-old gangrape survivor who is in a critical state. Two men had grabbed her and poured acid down her throat on a train to Lucknow on Thursday evening. Ironically, this is the second attack on the woman whose case was about to go to trial.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath visited the woman in Lucknow's KGMC hospital, and announced compensation of Rs 1 lakh. He ordered the police to arrest the attackers immediately. Yogi also questioned a senior officer on how such an attack could take place.

The woman is a victim of rape twice. In 2008, the woman was gang-raped in Raebareli and acid was thrown on her. Three persons were arrested. Over the years the family alleged that several persons threatened them often to withdraw the case.
