Ayodhya Bakery Demolished After Rape Arrest

In Ayodhya, the bakery owned by Samajwadi Party leader Moid Khan has been demolished following his arrest for the alleged gang-rape of a 12-year-old girl. The bakery was illegally constructed over a pond, and authorities initiated the demolition after Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath met the victim's family and assured strict action. The police also arrested an accomplice, Raju Khan, and both men allegedly raped and filmed the minor two months ago. The case has led to the suspension of local police officials for delays in the investigation. The Samajwadi Party has distanced itself from Moid Khan, calling for justice while urging against politicizing the issue. Additional properties of the accused are also under scrutiny for potential demolition.
