She alleged Yogi Adityanath government has said that the woman was "characterless" and that the family killed her. "They removed all evidence and said that no rape happened; they sent the case to the CBI so that its foundation is broken," Vijayadharani added.

She called UP a "killer field" and said that PM Modi's silence establishes that he is against the women of this country.
