Police apprehend suspects in the rape and murder of Dalit woman in Ayodhya.

The Uttar Pradesh police have successfully resolved the case of the rape and murder of a Dalit woman, a situation that had ignited significant political controversy ahead of the upcoming Milkipur bypoll scheduled for February 5. Three individuals have been apprehended in connection with the crime, as disclosed by SSP Rajkaran Nayyar on Monday.The primary suspect is Digvijay Singh, also known as Baba, who resides in the same village, Sahanwan, as the victim. According to police reports, the fathers of both Digvijay and the victim were acquainted. Two months prior, the woman’s brother had an altercation with Digvijay.

On January 30, Digvijay was drinking outside the village with his accomplices, Hariram Kori and Vijay Sahu. When the victim was heading home, they spotted her, forcibly dragged her into a field, and subsequently gang-raped and murdered her. Upon receiving the complaint on January 31, SSP Nayyar established two teams to investigate the incident.

The three suspects have reportedly confessed to their involvement in the crime. “We will go to court and seek their remand,” stated the SSP. He also mentioned that scientific evidence has been collected, and the charge sheet will be submitted promptly, with the aim of delivering justice to the victim’s family through a Fast Track Court.

This crime has taken on political implications with the Milkipur assembly bypolls just around the corner. On the same day, SP MP Awadhesh Prasad warned that he would resign if the victim’s family did not receive justice. Leaders from the opposition, including Congress’ Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi, BSP president Mayawati, and SP chief Akhilesh Yadav, have condemned the Uttar Pradesh government, accusing Yogi Adityanath’s administration of being indifferent to the plight of Dalits.

National: One year after the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, the nation remembers the 26 people who lost their lives. The attack took place on April 22 at Baisaran, a popular tourist spot.

At first, reports said only five people were injured. Later, it became clear that it was one of the worst terror attacks in the region in decades. Terrorists came out of the forest and opened fire on tourists.

Survivors said the attackers separated men from women and children. They then shot the men at close range. Many victims were reportedly targeted after being asked about their religion.

A heartbreaking image of Himanshi Narwal sitting beside her husband’s body became a symbol of the tragedy. Her husband, a naval officer, was among those killed.

The group The Resistance front, linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility. The case was investigated by the National Investigation Agency.

After months of tracking, security forces launched Operation Mahadev. On July 28, 2025, all three terrorists were killed after a long search operation.

The attack remains a painful memory and a reminder of the need for strong security.
