Balanced News: UP Man Claims Wife, Daughter Gang-Raped by Thieves; Police ‘Doubtful’

A man has filed a police complaint in Saifni, India, alleging that three men raped his wife and 14-year-old daughter after stealing cash and a mobile phone from their home. The police have registered a case and detained one person, but have cast doubts over the allegations. Superintendent of Police Ashok Kumar Shukla said the incident “seems to be a bit doubtful” and that evidence is being collected. Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav responded to the incident, tweeting that it “has created panic in the entire state” and exposes the “hollowness” of BJP’s claims about law and order in Uttar Pradesh.
