The recent case of rape, murder, and theft of a family of 8 by a gang of goons on the Bulandshahr highway has left the nation speechless. The talks of development and a better UP that were making the rounds after the recent election results can never bear fruit in the present scenario. This infamous highway has previously witnessed another horrendous incident where a mother-daughter duo was dragged out of their car and raped by a group of men.
A strong course of action needs to be implemented soon in order to put a stop to such heinous crimes, and assure better safety for travelers, especially women.
