Akhilesh targets UP govt over Dalit youth’s killing

Lucknow, Feb 12 (PTI) Seeking to corner the ruling BJP government on law and order in the state, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav said today that the killing of a Dalit student in Allabahad showed that state was in the “grip of criminal elements”.

“No law and order is prevailing in the state. Murder of a Dalit student in Allahabad shows that the state is in the grip of criminal elements and the police is only killing innocents in encounters,” Yadav said here.
