PM Modi Condemns Varanasi Gangrape, Demands Strictest Action Against Culprits

In a horrifying incident that has left the nation shaken, a gangrape case in Varanasi has drawn the attention of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who represents the city in Parliament. The Prime Minister expressed deep anguish and has ordered authorities to ensure the "strictest possible action" against those responsible for the heinous crime.

The incident occurred earlier this week when a young woman was allegedly assaulted by a group of men in the holy city of Varanasi. Initial reports suggest that the victim, who belongs to a marginalized community, was attacked while returning home late at night. The brutal crime has sparked outrage and protests in the region, with demands for immediate justice.

The Prime Minister was briefed about the case during a meeting with senior officials. Deeply disturbed by the nature of the crime, he directed law enforcement agencies to act swiftly and decisively. “This is unacceptable in any civil society. The culprits must face the strictest consequences,” he reportedly stated.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has also been made aware of the matter, instructing the police to expedite the investigation and ensure a case against the accused.

The incident has triggered widespread anger and grief across the country. Citizens, activists, and political leaders have condemned the crime and called for systemic changes to ensure women’s safety. Protests have erupted in several cities, demanding accountability from authorities and justice for the victim.

“This isn’t just a Varanasi issue; it’s a national shame. Women deserve to feel safe, no matter where they are,” said a prominent activist during a rally in Lucknow.

Authorities have arrested multiple suspects in connection with the case. The police are working to gather evidence and are under immense pressure to deliver quick results. A senior police official assured that no stone would be left unturned in ensuring justice.

The Uttar Pradesh government has also announced financial assistance for the victim’s family and has promised to cover medical and legal expenses.
