Ujjain minor rape case: Delay in police action led to incident, alleges family

The Congress on Friday questioned the Madhya Pradesh Police’s inaction in the case of the 12-year-old rape victim in Ujjain and questioned the “silence” of Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and State Home Minister Narottam Mishra over the spine-chilling incident.

Addressing a press conference at the All India Congress Committee (AICC) headquarters, Congress spokesperson and the party’s social media head, Supriya Shrinate, condemned the indifference and inaction of the police with regard to the victim who is from a Dalit family.

She claimed that if M.P. Police had taken prompt action at Satna, from where the girl was reported to be missing, the horrific crime may not have taken place.
