Kanpur girl's tweet to UP CM Yogi Adityanath ensures police action

New Delhi: A tweet to newly elected UP CM Yogi Adityanath helped the cause of a distraught Kanpur family that was denied police action for over a week. The Gautams living in Kalyanpur locality faced the brunt of their unruly neighbours who attacked them with rods and sticks for not participating in Holi revelry.  The three young daughters of Budh Gautam were among the ones assaulted blatantly by the neighbouring boys. Local police failed to take action against the accused forcing the Gautams to tweet to the CM who immediately after his elevation had met senior police officials of the state asking them to crack down on criminals, organised crime and mafias, and ensure safety of women. A call from the CM's office in Lucknow to the police ensured swift action. “We had complained to the police but no action was taken but one tweet to CM Yogi Adityanath prompted the police to come to our doors today (Tuesday),” said Astha Gautam. Superintendent of Police Sachindra Patel said a probe is on to ascertain why immediate action wasn't taken. "Efforts were on to nab the accused," he added.
