Muzaffarnagar, Jul 1 (PTI) Two office-bearers of the Naresh Tikait-led Bhartiya Kisan Union were on Friday expelled from the organisation after they were arrested by the Uttarakhand Police in connection with a gang-rape case.
Subodh Kakran, president of Saharanpur divisional unit, and Vicky Tomar, former president of the Saharanpur unit, were expelled as there is no place in the organisation for such people, BKU Muzaffarnagar district president Yogesh Sharma said.
The Uttarakhand Police on June 30 had arrested five people, including the duo, on charges of raping a 35-year-old woman and her five-year-old daughter in a moving car in Roorkee on June 24.
