UP rape horror
 Badaun SP suspended, 108 officers transferred

Lucknow, June 7
The Akhilesh Yadav government today suspended Badaun SP, decided to take action against then District Magistrate and undertook a massive rejig involving 66 IAS and 42 IPS officers.

Chief Secretary Alok Ranjan, who faced a volley of questions from reporters here, said several facts have emerged in the Badaun incident and it would have been better if the administration had acted promptly. "SP Badaun (Atul Saxena) has been suspended and decision has been taken to take action against the then acting District Magistrate (Uday Raj Singh). The new DM has taken charge only two days back," he said.

LR Kumar, SP (law and order) DGP headquarters, has been posted as new SP of Badaun district. The decision to crack the whip was taken at a meeting convened by Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav and attended by Principal Secretary (Home) Deepak Sighal and DGP AL Banerjee. In a fresh twist to the case, DGP AL Banerjee said that according to available inputs, rape of one of the victims was not confirmed and property could be one of the motives. — PTI
