Meanwhile SP chief Akhilesh Yadav has attacked the Yogi Adityanath led BJP government over the horrific murder. In a post on X, the SP Chief wrote, “"The death of a student under suspicious circumstances at Saifai University is a matter of grave concern. This is yet another distressing instance highlighting the failure of the declared zero-tolerance policy against crime, particularly during the tenure of the BJP in Uttar Pradesh. A judicial inquiry into this alleged murder is imperative to unveil the truth about individuals involved in incidents similar to those at BHU and Saifai University. The government should not have the ability to shield them, even if it desires to do so.The BJP government is "neither able to honour the women nor save their lives."
