If justice denied, will hang ourselves from same tree says Badaun victim’s father

Badaun: In the latest development in the Badaun rape case, the father of one of the two teenaged cousins, who were hanged from the tree, accused police of destroying vital evidences and threatened that he and the other family members would hang themselves from the same tree if they were denied justice in the case.
 
“If justice is not served, we will hang ourselves from the same mango tree, where our two daughters were found hanging,” said father of a girl on Saturday.

In a new twist in the Badaun killings case in Uttar Pradesh, the CBI, which is probing the matter, said the DNA report from the Centre for DNA Fingerprinting and Diagnostics (CDFD) in Hyderabad confirmed contradictions in the theory of rape.

The father of one of the victims said, “Police had already destroyed vital evidence. Even CBI is probing on the lines of investigation done by the Uttar Pradesh police.”

“Police provided clothes of the girls to CBI, which were sent for DNA testing. The role of police is suspicious since the beginning,” he alleged.

It may be recalled that both the cousin sisters- aged 14 and 15- were found hanging from a mango tree in Badaun in the last week of May. The incident sparked outrage in the entire country. Globally too, it gained attention. The state government run by Samajwadi Party was criticised heavily for failing to control the deteriorating law and order problem in the state.
