Gujarat Home Minister Harsh Sanghvi has said about rape that dirty videos available on mobile are also responsible for rape. Only the police should not be blamed for this.
Gujarat Home Minister said that easy access to dirty videos on mobile phones and perverted mindset of the society are one of the reasons responsible for rape. Speaking at an event in Surat, Sanghvi said- “We always blame the police for rape incidents. Such incidents are a blot on the society. We cannot blame the police alone for such incidents. Gujarat is the safest in our country. But no matter how safe, if one or two such incidents happen in our city or state then it should not happen”.
Speaking at the event, Harsh Sanghvi said that a recent survey shows that mobile phones and acquaintances were the main reasons for rape incidents. The Home Minister said- “When a father rapes his younger daughter, is it not a big social issue? If a father rapes his daughter, it is because of his mobile phone.”
Talking further on rape cases, he said that the second major reason for rape incidents in India is that well-known people like neighbors and family members often commit such incidents. Especially when it comes to young girls.
Let us tell you that recently the government told the assembly that at least 3,796 cases of rape have been registered in Gujarat in the last two years. Also 61 cases of gang rape were registered. This information was given by Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel in his written reply during the Question Hour of the budget session. He said that Ahmedabad has recorded the highest number of 729 cases in the state. After this, 508 cases have been registered in Surat, 183 in Vadodara, 175 in Chhotaudepur and 166 in Kutch.
