The Congress General Secretary, Ms. Priyanka Vadra tweeted, “The killings of two sisters in Lakhimpur (UP) are heart-wrenching. The relatives say that the girls were abducted in broad daylight,”. Moreover, she questioned, “Giving false advertisements in newspapers and television every day does not improve law and order. After all, why are heinous crimes against women increasing in Uttar Pradesh?”
However, the Superintendent of Police of Lakhimpur Kheri informed the reporters that six people who are accused have been arrested in an overnight operation.
