In a tense development from Uttar Pradesh, Samajwadi Party MP Ramjilal Suman was stopped by police at Kashi Toll Plaza while he was on his way to meet the family of a Dalit woman who was brutally attacked and killed. The woman had gone to a field with her daughter, where local goons allegedly kidnapped the daughter and assaulted the mother, resulting in her death during treatment at a hospital. SP legislator Atul Pradhan and party workers accompanied Suman, but police prevented the delegation from proceeding, leading to a heated standoff. The incident has sparked outrage in the state, intensifying political debates and highlighting ongoing concerns over law and order, caste-based violence, and the safety of vulnerable communities. Authorities are investigating the case amid growing public and political pressure.
