Uttar Pradesh Minister Narad Rai said on Saturday that society is not affected even after the implementation of law by the president.

Rai said, "Incidents of rape are taking place not only in UP, but around the country. We pray to god that he gives us the power to fight and to tolerate what is happening in the society."

"It is sad that even after the implement of law by the president that came after December rape case of Delhi, society is not affected by it. Such problems are not to be cured by the committee. For this, we need to make people aware of it in a better way," he added.

Uttar Pradesh has been witnessing a series of crimes after the recent rape and murder of two dalit girls in Badaun and a minor in Moradabad who were later found hanging on a tree.

Recently, a 35-year-old woman was also gang raped in the Mohanlalganj area of Lucknow. She was found naked with injury marks on her face, head and private parts.

The post-mortem report also confirmed the reason to be sexual assault and severe injuries on private parts.
