In a video shared by Akhilesh Yadav, numerous students were seen protesting outside the trauma center, expressing their discontent over the death of paramedical student Priya Mishra.

“The death of a student under suspicious circumstances in Saifai University is a very serious matter. This is another very sad example of the declared policy of zero tolerance becoming zero during the time of BJP in Uttar Pradesh,” Yadav wrote in a post on X.

“There should be a judicial inquiry into this alleged murder, so that the truth about the people involved in incidents like BHU and Saifai University can be revealed and the government cannot save them even if it wants to. The BJP government is neither able to save the honor of women nor their lives,” he added.
