Oppn in Haryana attacks ruling Khattar government over rising incidence of rapes in the state
In yet another case of brutal sexual assault in Haryana, a 50-year-old man was arrested for allegedly mutilating the private parts of a 10-year-old girl by inserting a wooden object, police said on Monday.
The incident, which took place on Sunday, in an area near Pinjore, comes barely days after two minor Dalit girls were allegedly raped and killed in separate incidents in the state.
In one of the cases, a 15-year-old school student, was brutally assaulted and her private parts were mutilated.
The girl's family has lodged a complaint, following which the man was arrested and booked under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and provisions of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, Assistant Sub- Inspector, Pinjore police station, Brij Pal said.
The man, who is a distant relative of the victim, allegedly inserted a wooden object into her private parts, police said.
Attacking the Khattar government over four rape incidents in the past 24 hours, the Congress on Monday said Haryana has become the "crime hub"of the country which is "shameful"and the time has come to change this "anti-women" government.
"Under BJP government, Haryana has become a crime hub. Unfortunately, it is ranked number one in the country in gangrape. In 2016, there have been 1,198 rapes, 191 gangrapes and 4,019 kidnapping cases. Under the Khattar government, every day there are three murders, three rapes and 11 kidnapping cases. They should be ashamed," said Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala, citing National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) data in a series of tweets.
Mahila Congress chief Sushmita Dev also demanded that stringent action against the guilty must be taken. "Three young girls have been brutally raped in the state of Haryana. It is shocking the way they have been treated and left to die. Although we take many remedial measures, what has the government done to prevent incidents like that," Dev said in a video message.
