Lucknow: Three more persons, including the main accused Saleem Bawaria were on Monday arrested in connection with the gangrape of a mother and daughter on NH91 near Bulandshahr. All six accused are now behind the bars for involvement in the incident.
Director General of UP Police Javeed Ahmed had earlier said, "The names of other accused are almost clear and efforts are on to arrest them."
A group of dacoits had brutally raped the woman and her 13-year-old daughter at gunpoint after dragging them out of a car in Bulandshahr on NH-91 when they were travelling with their family from Noida to Shahjahanpur on July 29.
A political slugfest had followed the incident which was also raised in both houses of Parliament. The situation got exacerbated in the wake of the remark of senior Samajwadi Party leader and Uttar Pradesh minister Azam Khan who suspected a "political conspiracy" behind the ghastly crime.
In response to Khan's remark, BJP leader IP Singh put up angry posts on Facebook and Twitter, saying the state minister would be able to see the truth only when his own wife and daughter suffered similar ordeals.
