August 29, 2016 11:39
Just in: The Supreme Court takes cognisance of UP minister Azam Khan's statement that the Bulandshahr gang-rape case is a "political conspiracy" and serves a notice to the minister.
Khan had said the elections are near and a desperate opposition could stoop to any level to defame the government. "We must also probe whether this entire controversy is a move by some Opposition elements to defame the government. People who want to come to power may be stooping this low for political interests,' the minister had said.
Early this month, dacoits had waylaid a family travelling from Noida to Shahjahanpur by car, dragged the woman and her 14-year-old daughter out of the vehicle to a field, and raped them while the men were held at gunpoint.
