Two accused of raping IIT-BHU student released from jail, SP takes a jibe | News India

Varanasi, August 31 (HS). Two accused Kunal Pandey and Anand alias Abhishek Chauhan of raping an IIT-BHU student have been released after getting bail from Allahabad High Court. The third accused Saksham Patel has not yet got bail in this case. On Saturday, the Samajwadi Party's media cell took a dig at the state government in an ex-post after the two accused got bail.

Sharing the photo of the three accused, SP wrote that it was seen how the accused of gangrape are being quietly released due to the poor prosecution on the instructions of Chief Minister Yogi. This is the truth and face of Yogi and his BJP government. This is the reality of Yogi and BJP, if the rapists are close to Chief Minister Yogi/BJP then the Yogi government protects them. Have you ever seen such a disgusting face of misuse of power?

On the other hand, when the accused of raping a student in IIT BHU reached home after being released from jail, they were welcomed by garlanding them. People are also making harsh comments on social media regarding this. All three accused were associated with the IT cell of BJP. Kunal was released from jail on 24 August and Anand Chauhan on 29 August. All three accused were arrested by Lanka Police on 31 December 2023. The police filed a charge sheet of gang rape on 17 January 2024. After this, the police registered a case against the three accused under the Gangster Act.

On the night of November 1, 2024, a B.Tech student of the Mathematical Engineering Department of IIT-BHU went out for a walk from the New Girls Hostel at 1.30 pm. When she reached the Gandhi Smriti Hostel Square in the campus, she met her friend there. Both of them had just reached near Karman Veer Baba Temple when three youths riding a Bullet came from behind and stopped the student and her friend. After some time, the friend was beaten up and chased away from there. The three youths riding a Bullet made the student take off her clothes at gunpoint. They kissed the student and gang-raped her and then also made a video of it.
