Samajwadi Party Supremo Akhilesh Yadav took to X to slam the state government. He wrote, “In another heartbreaking incident of crime against women in UP, a headless, naked body of a woman was found on the highway of Kanpur. Morality says that the evidence of ruthless violence and immense physical torture inflicted on the deceased should not be mentioned. There should be an impartial investigation in the direction of the suspicion that the deceased was raped and then murdered, and the criminals should be identified and given such punishment that can provide justice to the deceased and create fear in the minds of those who commit the crime by defying the police and the government, so that such crimes against women do not recur.”
