Rahul Gandhi lashes out at PM Modi.
Congress President Rahul Gandhi today attacked PM Modi in the lights of Rewari gangrape in Haryana which has shocked the entire nation. Congress President without directly mentioning Rewari tweeted," India hangs its head in shame as another one of its daughters is brutally gangraped. Prime Minister, your silence is unacceptable. Shame on a government that leaves India’s women unprotected and afraid and allows rapists to walk free.
On 12th September, a bright student from Haryana was brutally gangraped by three men including a serving army personnel. So far, police have only managed to one person accused of rape. They have also arrested two other men as an accomplice. However, with two main accused still roaming free, Congress President has decided to put pressure on the Haryana government and the Centre, both governed by BJP.
After the shunting out of Rewari Superintendent of Police (SP) Rajesh Duggal, a woman assistant sub-inspector has been suspended over alleged delay in taking action in the gangrape case of a 19-year-old woman.
"The orders to suspend ASI Hiramani of the Women's Police Station, Rewari were issued on Monday. She has been placed under suspension over allegations of delay in taking action on the complaint and negligence," a Rewari district police official said on Tuesday.
Earlier, Duggal was moved out as the Rewari SP and Rahul Sharma was made the new district police chief. The victim's family has alleged that the police failed to take prompt action on their complaint and delayed action by citing jurisdictional issues between their units in Rewari and Mahendragarh districts. The family has alleged that the Women's Police Station in Rewari, after registering a "zero FIR" in the case, delayed action and failed to promptly hand over the probe to the Mahendragarh police, under whose jurisdiction the incident took place.
A zero FIR can be filed at any police station and can later be transferred to the police station concerned. The case has prompted the opposition parties to demand Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar's resignation on moral grounds, saying the state had failed to protect its daughters. The Congress on Monday demanded imposition of President's Rule in the state, alleging that the BJP-led government had utterly failed to tackle the law-and-order situation.
Meanwhile, residents of the village where the woman was allegedly gangraped , claimed that the the spot where the crime took place was infamous for nefarious activities. They alleged that there were incidents of girls being harassed by vagabonds at the spot in the past as well. "We demand an exemplary punishment for the accused. However, our plea is that no innocent youth of the village should be harassed by the police as many have been called for questioning," one of the villagers said.
