Twitter users react to #Badaun gang-rape case; condemn Uttar Pradesh CM Akhilesh Yadav

As India witnesses another brutal crime against women where-in two minors were found hanged from a tree in Badaun district in Uttar Pradesh after being raped. The irony being that out of the seven accused two were cops, responsible for maintaining law and order.

Even after witnessing so many such incidents in their state, Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav termed it "unfortunate" and has decided to give the families a compensation of Rs. 5 lakhs each. The chief minister has asked to constitute a fast track court to punish the accused of such cases. 

There has been tremendous outrage, and social media has been abuzz with strong condemnations.

@sherryrehman hopefully we would have punished the Perpetrators of Badaun Gang Rape within a couple of months

Akhilesh Yadav's comment on Badaun indicates he shares Daddy's views on rape: boys can make mistakes. Beyond sick-making.

Why are our newly elected MPs and ministers silent on the horrible rape and murder of two teenage girls in Badaun??

Even the former Minister of State for Home Affairs has showed concern and disgust as well. 

Death penalty only punishment for a crime as cruel & brutal as Badaun rape/hangings.Cops being involved makes swift verdict even more impt !

Despicable Gang rape in Badaun UP is condemnable but worst is the casual reaction of Akhilesh Yadav. So insensitive.
