Ayodhya (Faizabad) MP Awadhesh Prasad was seen in tears before reporters after a naked body of a 22-year-old Dalit woman was discovered in a secluded canal near her village in the Uttar Pradesh city.
The victim’s family alleged that their daughter, who had gone missing, was brutally murdered. Sources stated that her body had several deep wounds, fractures, and missing eyes.
‘I Failed to Protect Her’
Upon learning of the incident, Ayodhya MP Awadhesh Prasad broke down in front of journalists, expressing his profound grief.
In a viral video, colleagues can be seen offering emotional support to Prasad, saying, “You will fight for her justice.” Despite their encouragement, Prasad declared his intention to resign if justice is not served.
“I will resign from the Lok Sabha,” he vowed. Expressing his anguish, he asked rhetorically, “What will history say about me? What happened to the girl?”
Prasad’s colleagues urged him not to resign, emphasizing that his role as an MP is to fight for his constituents. They handed him a tissue, urging him to keep fighting for justice.
In a moment of distress, Prasad cried out, addressing the divine: “Where are you Lord Ram? Where are you, Mother Sita?”
Details of the Tragic Incident
The victim had been reported missing since Thursday night. The family launched a search operation, and her brother-in-law found her body in a small canal, approximately 500 meters away from their village on Saturday morning.
The family claimed that the woman’s hands and legs were tied with ropes, and her body bore several deep cuts and fractures. Witnesses reported that her leg was fractured and fainted when viewing the gruesome scene.
Circle Officer Ashutosh Tiwari mentioned that a missing persons report was filed with the police on Friday. Post-mortem examination would be conducted to determine the next steps.
“After receiving the post-mortem results, we will take appropriate action,” Tiwari said.
The family also accused the police of negligence, asserting that they did not adequately search for the missing woman despite having received a report.
A large crowd gathered at the location, demanding swift justice and raising serious concerns about the case.
An investigation into the incident is underway, with efforts to identify the perpetrators.
The MP’s Call to Action
Amidst the tragedy, MP Awadhesh Prasad’s commitment to justice is unwavering. He plans to travel to Delhi and bring the issue to the forefront, vowing to resign should the necessary justice not be delivered.
“My duty is to my people,” Prasad renewed his pledge. “I will not let this case go unresolved.”
The incident highlights the deep-rooted issues of social justice and accountability in Indian society. The subsequent investigation is crucial to addressing public demands for fair treatment and stringent measures against such heinous crimes.
As the community awaits the results of the post-mortem and the ongoing police investigation, one thing is clear—justice for the victim will be the priority.
