New Delhi, April 22: In another shocker from Unnao, a minor girl was allegedly raped by four men on the pretext of a job. According to details available, a case has been registered against four people including father of the victim. The shocking incident comes a day after the Union Cabinets approved the decision to award death penalty to those convicted of raping children below 12 years.

The decision on Saturday came following a nationwide outcry over the brutal Unnao Rape and the Kathau Rape cases.The Unnao Rape Victim on Saturday welcomed the Union Cabinets decision to award death penalty to those convicted of raping children below 12 years. The decision comes amid nation-wide outrage over cases of sexual assault and murder of minors. "This is a good move. I am very happy but it would have been better if the age of the victim was taken as 16 years," she told PTI.

The Unnao Rape case came into the limelight after the victim attempted self-immolation outside Adityanath's residence on Sunday, alleging police inaction against Sengar. To recall, the victim's father had died in judicial custody the next day, almost a week after he was reportedly thrashed by the MLA's brother and others. The victim had accused BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar of raping her in June last year. "Punishment for all those convicted of rape should not be anything less than life sentence. So that they do not dare to indulge in any such act again," she added.
