MEERUT: There is tension in Meerut over the killing of a mother who tried to save her grown up daughter from being abducted by goons. Even as security was tightened on Saturday, political parties have lambasted the Uttar Pradesh government over this horrific crime against women.

The 50-year-old Dalit woman was struck on the head by the goons with a sharp object when she tried to protect her 20-year-old daughter from being abducted in Kapsad village of Uttar Pradesh's Meerut, police said on Saturday.

However, the mother's valiant efforts to save her daughter from the goons went in vain as in the end the girl was forcibly taken away by the miscreants after grievously injuring the older woman.
