Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union (JNUSU) demonstrated outside the Uttar Pradesh Bhawan here on Friday expressing their anger over the alleged rape and murder of two Dalit cousins in Uttar Pradesh.

They protested over the alleged deterioration of the law and order in Uttar Pradesh under the government of the Akhilesh Yadav -led Samajwadi Party.

Two minor Dalit girls were raped and their bodies found hanging from a tree in Katra village in Uttar Pradesh's Badoi District which sparked outrage among the villagers who accused the police of inaction.

"While two men accused of the girls' murder and gangrape have been arrested by the police, one other accused is still at large. One constable has also been arrested while a head constable is yet to be arrested for not taking action on the complaint about the missing girls," Badaun SSP Atul Saxena said to ANI today.
