New Delhi. Many times after rape, its culprits kill the victim. Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot has given the reason for this to the law. Gehlot says that ever since the law has been made to hang the accused in the rape case, since then the incidents of murder have increased. According to media reports, CM Gehlot made this statement on Friday during his presence in Delhi during the Congress demonstration. He said that after the Nirbhaya case, the demand to hang the accused gained momentum and then the central government made a provision for it in the law. Since then, the accused of rape started killing women and girls.
Gehlot claimed that the trend of murder after rape has reached an alarming level across the country. According to him, the rapist feels that the victim will become a witness against him. In such a situation, he finds it right to kill him. He said that such a situation has never been seen in the country before. Let us tell you that long ago the then SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav had also opposed the hanging of rapists saying that ‘boys are boys, boys make mistakes’. This statement of Mulayam was heavily exploited by the BJP in the 2017 UP assembly elections and even today, he continues to target SP by giving examples of this.
The strange statements about rape do not stop here. In Karnataka, Congress leader and former minister KR Ramesh Kumar had said in the assembly that if rape cannot be stopped, then the victim should enjoy it. Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi was surrounded by people by making this statement of Ramesh Kumar viral on social media. After which Ramesh apologized for his statement.
