Uttar Pradesh Governor Ram Naik today said he was monitoring the situation in Meerut after the alleged gangrape and forcible conversion of a woman, and had talked to Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav about it.
"I have an eye on the Meerut incident... I have talked to the Chief Minister on phone about it," the Governor said during an informal interaction with mediapersons at the Raj Bhawan here, adding that he had got a report in this regard.
