Most rape cases filed by girls after argument with known person, says Haryana CM


Kalka, Nov 18 (PTI): Haryana chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar has courted a controversy over his remarks on rape incidents.

At a function in Kalka town of Panchkula district on Friday, Khattar said that most of the rape incidents happen between known people.

“The incidents of rape have not increased... Rapes used to take place in the past and even today as well. (Only) the concern (over such incidents) has increased,” remarked Khattar.

“The biggest concern is that in 80 to 90 per cent of rape and eve-teasing cases, the accused and the victim know each other. In many cases, they know each other for a long time and, on one day, when there is an argument (between them over some issue)... an FIR is lodged, saying: ‘He has raped me’,” he said.

In September this year, the alleged abduction and gang rape of a 19-year-old girl from Haryana’s Rewari had created a nation-wide outrage. Three accused were later arrested in the case.

In another ghastly incident that happened in October this year in the state, a seven-year-old girl was allegedly raped while returning from school in Rewari district.

    Khattar need not worry about the reasons or circumstances leading to rape, it is the duty of your police to accept complaints, investigate fairly and file cases against the accused.

    Nobody is interested in your reasoning or rape philosophy. Public needs to bring a strict rule on rapists (capital punishment) to discourage rape culture in society.
    Find out a solution and do not explain the likely reasons. Men do not have any authority to take revenge on girls for failed love or any bad arguments from girls.

    All BJP ruled state ministers has no respect for girls and women. They blame girls and women for every incident to hide their inability to provide safety and security. They provide security only for the cow vigilant groups. Useless politicians

    Although this minister is well known for protecting culprits, this time there is some truth in his statement. One cannot generalise and make a statement like this. this only shows that this politician supports culprits as he did with self pronounced god man Dera.
