Such incidents create a horrific atmosphere in the society, which causes a deep mental trauma to the women society."

Congress slams govt
UP Congress also raised questions saying, "Who hanged them here? Why did they hang them? Nobody knows anything. This state has become a crematorium for women. No woman who steps out of her home feels safe here. The government must take some concrete steps to rein in these fearless beasts! Till when will our sisters and daughters continue to live in fear?"
