The body of a young Dalit woman was found in a sack near the Kanjara River bridge in Karhal, Mainpuri district, Uttar Pradesh on Wednesday. The deceased’s family has claimed that the murder was politically motivated and has accused a man named Prashant Yadav of being responsible for the crime.
The victim’s family has also alleged that she was raped before being murdered. They claim that the woman had expressed her intention to vote for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the Karhal bypolls, which reportedly angered Prashant. According to the media reports, he had threatened her with severe consequences if she voted for the BJP instead of the Samajwadi Party.
The family reported that the victim was threatened on November 19. Later that day, she was seen being taken away on a bike by two suspects. On November 20, her lifeless body, found naked and stuffed in a sack, was discovered. The police were alerted, and an investigation was launched. Upon reaching the scene, authorities took custody of the body and had it sent for a post-mortem examination.
The victim’s mother said while speaking to the media, “Yesterday, my daughter told Prashant that she feared no one and would vote for Kamal [the BJP’s symbol].” She firmly believed her daughter was strangled to death for expressing her intention to vote for the BJP in the bypolls. The victim’s father said that they planned to go to Kota three days before the election. However, an SP leader advised them to leave only after voting and urged them to vote for the cycle (the SP’s symbol).

His daughter informed the leader that she intended to vote for the BJP, prompting the leader and his associates to threaten her.
He further claimed that when they went to Bablu and Prashant’s house to inquire about their daughter, both denied knowing anything. However, he said he saw his daughter’s slippers at Prashant’s house. Later, they discovered her body stuffed in a sack near the Kajra River. BJP leaders have called for strict action in the murder case. Speaking to the media, BJP candidate Anujesh accused the Samajwadi Party of being responsible for the killing of the Dalit girl.
BJP IT Cell chief shared videos of the victim’s parents and posted, “The misdeeds of the red-capped goons are once again in front of everyone”. The red-capped goons of Akhilesh Yadav, who gave the slogan of PDA, brutally murdered a Dalit girl in Karhal. Akhilesh Yadav should keep the goons of his party under control, otherwise there is the law and administration.
BJP state president Bhupendra Singh Chaudhary stated that a young woman, who had benefited from the BJP government’s public welfare schemes, was brutally murdered by SP leader Prashant Yadav and his associates. He further emphasised that the entire state is witnessing the chaos caused by those wearing red caps.
