In a separate incident, Moid Khan, another SP leader and close aide of Samajwadi Party MP Awadhesh Prasad, was arrested for allegedly raping a 12-year-old daily wage worker over a period of two months in Ayodhya. The case has gained significant political attention, particularly after a BJP delegation met with the victim’s family, urging the state government to increase the compensation for the survivor’s family from Rs 5 lakh to Rs 25 lakh.
BJP leaders, including Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, have publicly condemned the crime, highlighting Moid Khan’s association with the Samajwadi Party and his connection to Faizabad MP Awadhesh Prasad.
