Uttar Pradesh: Following a shameful incident in Uttar Pradesh's Ambedkarnagar, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday warned those harassing women and said if someone commits a crime like this in the state, 'Yamraj', the deity of death, will be waiting for him.
The remark by the Chief Minister comes after a girl student lost her life when two motorcycle-borne persons pulled her 'dupatta' in a molestation attempt due to which she fell off her bicycle and was run over by another motorcyclist in Ambedkarnagar.
