The Congress hailed the Allahabad high court verdict slamming the Mayawati government for its refusal to lodge an FIR of rape in Bhatta-Parsaul villages of Greater Noida. Congress leaders from Uttar Pradesh said that the issue raised by Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi has been vindicated.
"During Rahul Gandhi's visit to Bhatta-Parsaul, some women informed him about the rape by PAC men but the state government did not take it seriously. Now, we expect them to lodge an FIR in the case after the HC decision," Congress spokesman Akhilesh Pratap Singh said. A victim had filed a complaint before the station house officer (SHO) of Dankaur Police Station, alleging rape by the Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC) jawans deployed at Bhatta-Parsaul after farmers clashed with policemen during the land acquisition agitation. However, when police refused to lodge an FIR, the victim approached a local court. The court directed the police to lodge an FIR but the latter challenged the decision in the high court.
