TRADERS OF South Kanpur today expressed their resentment against the apathy of the city police in ‘Gandhigiri’ style by taking out a peace procession from Machariya crossing. They demanded the arrest of the culprits involved in Yashoda Nagar incident in which three persons, including a woman, a girl and his brother, belonging to two families, were murdered on November 18.
The criminals also raped the woman and the girl before murdering them. After committing the murders, the miscreants made off with the booty. Both the houses are located in Yashodannagar area.
Sporting white Gandhi caps, traders also held a meeting in front of Naubasta police station and handed over a memorandum listing their demands.
Participating under the banner of South Kanpur Traders’ Convening Committee, traders held placards with slogans written on them to prod the police into action.
Leading the march, traders’ leader Shayam Bihari Mishra accused police for their laxity. He said even after 20 days, there had been no breakthrough in the Yashoda Nagar case, in which a trader’s wife and brother-sister duo were killed in their houses, after being looted by unidentified miscreants.
Mishra said the city police were working on the directions of the Samajwadi Party workers and so the miscreants were still at large.
Traders also held a meeting at the gate of the Naubasta police station.
Traders’ leader Gyanesh Mishra handed a memorandum to SO Naubasta, addressed to SSP Kanpur, in which traders demanded opening of two new police stations and more police pickets to curb crime in South Kanpur.
