'Thok Dijiye Sir...': Why No Bulldozer Action In IIT-BHU Rape Case, Mahua Moitra Asks Yogi Adityanath

Yogi Adityanath, after taking over as the chief minister in 2017, had said in an interview: 'Agar aparadh karenge, toh thok diye jayenge (if anyone commits a crime, he will be shot dead)'.

Mahua Moitra, a member of the Trinamool Congress, criticised Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath regarding the alleged involvement of local Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders in the gang-rape of a BHU student, asking how much time will it take to run a bulldozer on their properties.

“Thok dijiye, Sir. Is Baar Bulldozer Chalaane Mein Itni Der Kyon?” the expelled TMC MP wrote on X while sharing pictures of the accused with Yogi Adityanath.

Adityanath, after taking over as the chief minister in 2017, had said in an interview: “Agar aparadh karenge, toh thok diye jayenge (if anyone commits a crime, he will be shot dead)”.

Two months after a woman student was allegedly gang-raped inside the IIT-BHU campus in Uttar Pradesh, police on Sunday arrested three men, while opposition parties alleged that they were BJP functionaries. The three accused claimed themselves to be the BJP's IT cell members on their Facebook page.

IIT-BHU Rape Case

On the night of November 1, a female student at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) - Banaras Hindu University (BHU) reported a case of sexual assault. 

According to the complainant, three men on a motorcycle forcibly took her to a secluded spot near the Karman Baba temple. There, they separated her from her friend, gagged her, and allegedly stripped her, recording a video and taking photos.
