Congresswoman Priyanka Gandhi Vadra lashed out at the state administration while expressing her sorrow over the occurrence, saying, “The incident of the death of two sisters in Lakhimpur (UP) is heart-wrenching. According to the relatives, the girls were taken in broad daylight. Giving bogus adverts every day on television and in newspapers does not enhance law and order. After all, why is UP experiencing an increase in terrible crimes against women?
However, the investigation in the matter is still underway.
