Lucknow:Taking a strict note of the incident of alleged molestation of a girl by a senior IAS officer in a train, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav today he has given directions to prepare a list of people who tried to save the officer, who has been suspended.

"As soon as the matter came to the light, the IAS officer was suspended...I have come to know that a number of blue beacon cars (of officers) were seen at the railway station to save the officer. I am getting the list of such officers prepared and action will be taken against them", Akhilesh Yadav told reporters after attending a programme on Gandhi Jayanti here.

"Our government is committed to ensure safety of women and those involved in such acts will not be spared", he said.

Senior IAS officer Shashi Bhushan Sushil was yesterday arrested on charges of attempt to rape and molesting a Delhi-based woman in a train.

Refuting the molestation charge, the officer had claimed that he had got into a verbal duel with the woman after she made a casteist remark against him following a dispute over luggage.

The government has also removed inspector GRP, Anil Rai who allegedly tried to delay the matter and impose lesser stringent sections in the FIR.

More than Thousands of of Rapes have been committed in Uttar Pradesh since the day Akhilesh Yadav has taken over as the Chief Minister of UP and he never shown his anger against the safety of women. This time, when an IAS officer was alleged to have been found involved in the case of molestation and attempt to rape in Train, he got angry so heavily that the said IAS officer was removed from the service immediately without testifying the truth of the allegations. I think this action is not for the safety of women in UP but it is the action against a Dalit IAS Officer. A senior Yadav Police officer removes the cloth/kafan of a dead body from his leg, no anger is shown by Akhilesh, Rapes have been committed in every districts, city, malls, villages and every where and every day. It is very strange and quite a new modus operandi by a rapist that too a Senior IAS Officer who wanted to rape a woman in the train crowded with passengers. I think it is a planted case conspired by Yadav Govt. against the Dalit officers.
