In a tragic incident that has shaken the community, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi reached out to Ram Gopal, the patriarch of a Dalit family murdered in Amethi. The gruesome act saw Ram's son, daughter-in-law, and two granddaughters shot dead.

Gandhi's emissary, MP Kishori Lal, facilitated the call as public outrage swelled over the state government's perceived failure to maintain law and order. Rahul Gandhi's involvement highlights the political stakes tied to the incident, with Amethi and Rae Bareli long-held Congress bastions.

The killings come amid details of a prior complaint filed by the slain Poonam against one Chandan Verma, raising questions about possible motives. The police continue their investigation, urged by both political pressure and public demand for justice.
