"The BJP strongly condemns the Bulandshahr rape and demands a CBI probe in the matter. We offer our condolences to the victims of the family and order swift action against the guilty," BJP leader Shrikant Sharma said in a series of tweets. Yesterday, the family members of the victims threatened suicide if stringent punishment was not meted out to the perpetrators of the heinous crime. The incident took place on Friday night when a 35-year-old woman and her 14-year-old daughter were allegedly gang-raped by a group of robbers in Bulandshahr district. Accusing the Akhilesh Yadav-led government in Uttar Pradesh of providing protections to criminals in the state, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday demanded that the gruesome Bulandshahr mother-daughter duo gang-rape case be transferred to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
