Fatehpur Gang Rape Accused, Alleged BJP Leader, Shot in Police Encounter
In Fatehpur, a BJP leader gang-raped a girl and forced her fiancé to record the video. When the report reached higher authorities, a direct order was issued not to spare the culprit, even if they belonged to the ruling party. Following this, on the night of May 6, under 'Operation Langda,' the police shot this political beast in both legs in a deliberate 'half-encounter' so that he remains alive and suffers punishment by crawling on his knees for life. The video then asks if this half-encounter is appropriate for those who abuse power, or if direct hanging under the new BNS law would be better.
What's right
What's wrong
Breakdown
The video accurately reports a recent and significant crime and subsequent police action in Fatehpur, Uttar Pradesh. A woman was indeed gang-raped, and her fiancé was allegedly forced to record the act.
The main accused, identified as Bablu Singhraur (also referred to as Bablu Singh or Bablu Thakur), was injured in a police encounter on the night of May 6, 2026, after allegedly opening fire on the police, and was shot in both legs. This type of police action, where criminals are shot in the legs, is colloquially known as "Operation Langda" in Uttar Pradesh.
The incident was escalated to higher authorities, leading to an FIR being lodged after the victim's family approached the Fatehpur SP. However, the video contains some misleading or unverified elements.
While some news reports identify the accused as a "BJP leader", other reports from around the time of the incident mention that the victim's family alleged political affiliation, which was denied by local party representatives. The video's assertion of a "direct order" from higher authorities not to spare the culprit, regardless of political affiliation, is not explicitly corroborated by news reports, although the police action against an alleged ruling party member could be seen as consistent with such a directive.
Furthermore, the video's graphic interpretation of the "half-encounter" as a deliberate act to ensure the culprit "remains alive and suffers punishment by crawling on his knees for life" is an embellishment and not a stated motive by the police. Police accounts describe the shooting as a result of retaliatory firing.
Regarding the legal aspect, the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) is indeed a new criminal code that came into effect on July 1, 2024. It replaces the Indian Penal Code and includes provisions for the death penalty for certain severe crimes, such as rape of a child below 12 years or rape causing death, with execution carried out by hanging.
However, the term "direct phaansi" (direct hanging) used in the video is an oversimplification, as the death penalty is a punishment that can only be imposed after due legal process and trial, not as an immediate or "direct" action. The claims appear accurate around the upload date (May 16, 2026) regarding the incident and police action.
The BNS law was already in effect at the time of the video's upload. [1][2][3]
