“THE CRIMINAL INCIDENTS IN PRAYAGRAJ WERE A MATTER OF GREAT CONCERN.”

PRAYAGRAJ: Pragatishe­el Samajwadi Party (Lohia) national president Shivpal Yadav reached the Sangam city on Saturday evening after getting informatio­n about the brutal murder of five people of the same family in Khevrajpur village under Tharwai police station area.

After a brief halt at the circuit house at around 4pm, Shivpal Yadav directly reached the postmortem house and met the victim’s family.

He took details of the incident from the relatives of the deceased and expressed grief. Shivpal said that this incident should be worked out at the earliest. “In this regard, I will meet chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday and will demand that arrangemen­ts should be made to enable the victims’ family to stand on their feet again. I will submit a memorandum to the CM in this regard,” he said.

Shivpal Yadav said that the people who committed this heinous act would like to destroy the evidence and therefore, the safety of the victim’s family should be ensured.

He said that the criminal incidents in Prayagraj were a matter of great concern. Countless incidents had been reported in the recent past in areas like Nawabganj and Phaphamau etc. All these cases should be worked out and the culprits should be given strict punishment, he said.

Shivpal Yadav also said that if there was anything called law and order in the state, then such incidents would not have happened. There should be a fair investigat­ion into the incident. “In the Khevrajpur village incident, the victim’s family is demanding that the incident be investigat­ed by the STF. The government should ensure this,” he maintained. Later in the evening, Shivpal Yadav also reached the spot of the incident in Khevrajpur village and consoled family members.
