Bhilwara rape case: Days after a 14-year-old girl was gang-raped and her body was found in a coal furnace in Rajasthan's Bhilwara, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Saturday said that four to five people have been arrested adding that "what else the police will do?" He further said that Rajasthan is the number one in all the states in terms of taking action.
Speaking to the media persons, the Chief Minister said, “Yesterday in the Bhilwara incident, the police arrested the 4-5 accused at night. What else the police will do? In terms of carrying out an action, we are number one among all the states.”
Directed police to deal with them strictly
Chief Minister Gehlot said that people with a criminal mindset misbehaving with women will not be tolerated in the state. He said that he has directed the police to deal with them strictly. "The police will keep an eye on the miscreants. The Director-General of Police (DGP) has been instructed to keep an eye on the mischievous boys. The names of such offenders will be shared with the Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC) and other relevant authorities to ensure that they are barred from securing government jobs. Those who are keeping an evil eye on our sisters and daughters will not be spared," he said.
BJP raising issue to dilute Manipur incidents
Gehlot further said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is raising the issue of Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh to dilute the incidents happening in Manipur, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi has committed a huge blunder. He said that "this is politics and we don't approve of it."
Calling Rajasthan a peace-loving state, Gehlot said that attempts are being made to defame Rajasthan by drawing parallels with Manipur. He further said that incidents are happening in every state, and there is a need to collectively educate society about the rapes and atrocities.
"Occurrences of such incidents are taking place in all states. Is he not aware of the incident unfolding in Madhya Pradesh, where the son of a BJP MLA is involved? It is crucial for us to unite in educating society about sexual assaults and atrocities," he said.
