Hathras, Kathua, Unnao, and now Ghazipur—this is a pattern. The daughter from Manipur breathed her last while waiting for justice. Every time, the same face—the victim is Dalit, backward, tribal, poor." उत्तर प्रदेश के ग़ाज़ीपुर में विश्वकर्मा समाज की एक बेटी के साथ बलात्कार और निर्मम हत्या - और फिर परिवार को FIR दर्ज कराने से रोकने के लिए धमकियाँ, हिंसा। हाथरस, कठुआ, उन्नाव और आज ग़ाज़ीपुर - यह एक पैटर्न है। मणिपुर की बेटी ने न्याय की राह देखते-देखते दम तोड़ दिया। हर बार वही… — Rahul Gandhi (@RahulGandhi) April 25, 2026 Also Read:Need to remain vigilant against 'traitors': Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath Also Read:Need to remain vigilant against 'traitors': Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath He further wrote that in every such case the silence remains the same from people in power.

The Congress leaders said that action must be taken against the 'guilty police officers", and the family must get protection. "A high-level investigation must happen, and justice must be delivered immediately," he said. He further questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi: "give your answer—why are daughters so unsafe in your rule?" "In such circumstances, justice isn't begged for—it is snatched. And we will snatch it," he added. A teenage girl's body was found in Karanda area of Ghazipur district on April 15, with her family alleging sexual assault and murder.
