Akhilesh Yadav raised questions on Sultanpur encounter, said- life was taken on the basis of caste, other accused were shot in the legs in a pretentious manner

Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav has made a scathing comment on the UP government over the Sultanpur encounter. Without naming anyone, he alleged that other accused in the robbery case were shot in the leg, but Mangesh Yadav, who had an encounter with the police this morning, was killed. Akhilesh alleged that the life was taken on the basis of ‘caste’.

The SP chief wrote in his long ‘X’ post – It seems that the ruling party had deep connections with the people involved in the Sultanpur robbery, that is why before the fake encounter, the ‘main accused’ was contacted and made to surrender and other party members were shot at just their feet and killed on the basis of their ‘caste’.

According to Akhilesh Yadav- When the main accused has surrendered, then all the looted goods should be returned and the government should give compensation separately. Because, the mental trauma caused by such incidents takes a lot of time to recover from, which leads to loss of business, which should be compensated by the government.

Akhilesh further said that fake encounters turn protectors into predators. The solution is not fake encounters but real law and order. BJP rule is the Amritkaal of criminals. Till the public pressure and anger does not reach its peak, the work of sharing in the loot continues and when it seems that the public will surround them, then fake encounters are shown as a superficial balm. The public understands how some people are saved and how others are implicated. This is highly condemnable.
