Congress chief Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday stated the brutality that happened with a nine-year-old girl in Puducherry has shocked everybody and asserted that security and respect for girls is the identification of a developed nation.
His remarks got here after a woman’s physique was retrieved from a drain close to her home in Muthialpet block in Puducherry.
The physique was present in a sack floating in a drain close to her home on Tuesday, a number of days after her dad and mom filed a lacking criticism with the police. In line with the police, her fingers and legs have been discovered tied with ropes.
In a publish on X in Hindi, Gandhi stated, “The brutality that occurred with a nine-year-old lady in Puducherry has shocked everybody. In spite of everything, why are incidents of crimes towards daughters repeatedly rising within the nation?”
In 2022 alone, there have been 4.5 lakh incidents of crime towards ladies, out of which 31,000 instances have been of rape solely, he stated.
“Be it Ankita Bhandari’s household sitting on the street in Uttarakhand or the husband who hanged himself alongside together with his kids after not getting justice for the incident of misbehaviour together with his spouse in Madhya Pradesh, or the Spanish vacationer who grew to become a sufferer of gang-rape in Jharkhand, each such incident is a mirrored image of an insensitive system and a merciless society, which is a matter of introspection for us as a nation,” Gandhi stated.
Security and respect for girls is the identification of a ‘viksit rashtra’ (developed nation), he added.
The lady was a category 5 scholar in a authorities college in Muthialpet. Going through protests from residents, police had launched an in depth search to hint the lady, sources stated.
Police sources stated two suspects have been taken into custody.
