"The way in which news of rapes, atrocities and murders of sisters and daughters are coming from the state is heart wrenching. This is the worst era in terms of security of girls and women in the state. This is highly condemnable," Akhilesh said in a tweet in Hindi.
Akhilesh however, did not specify any specific rape incident in the state in his tweet.
