Uttar Pradesh is becoming a rather notorious place and rape and other criminal activities are very common there. The Etah rape incident in a marriage is one more case of heinous crime there. For the last 50 years nothing has improved in crime rates there. The BJP government is also not able to control crime rate there. Despite arresting the accused nothing could be done to focus on such rape crimes taking every hour there. Mostly minor girls are suffering there and there is no end solution to the problem. Unless we take drastic steps to stop such incidence and apprehend the culprits and handover severe punishment the crime rate will not come down. Demonstration and protests will not help out much to the cause. Both the people and the government should join hands and the opposition instead of just complaining make an all out attempt to bring an amicable solution and punish the culprit from their party without showing any favour. Backing from political parties for rapists causes all the problem.
