Baduan rape: Children clear farms to build helipad for Mayawati’s visit

Badaun: Bahujan Samaj Party supreme Mayawati on Sunday visited Badaun in Uttar Pradesh to meet the family of two teenagers who were gang-raped and killed on Wednesday.

However, according to NDTV, it was reported that ahead of the visit, children were made to clear the field to build a makeshift helipad for Mayawati’s helicopter. All the elaborate arrangements had been made for her visit to Badaun, at the cost of a farmer's crop.

The children were caught on camera clearing the field, and marking the area where the helicopter was supposed to land.

After her landing, Mayawati slammed the Samajwadi Party for the deteriorating situation in the state.

Last week, two minors from Katra village in Badaun district of Uttar Pradesh were kidnapped. Later, their bodies were found hanging from a tree in the village. They had allegedly been raped and killed by seven people out of which two of them were constables from the local police station.
