Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has assured justice in the murder case of 17-year-old Surya Pratap Chauhan, stating that such crimes will not go unpunished. The development comes days after the teenager was allegedly stabbed to death and after the main accused, Asad, was killed in a late-night police encounter. While the state government has defended its actions, the Samajwadi Party has criticized the encounter, alleging that it carried a communal angle. The case has now triggered a wider political debate in Uttar Pradesh.
