Ashok Gehlot Rape Statement:

'He [Ashok Gehlot] is standing with the rapists': BJP's Shehzad Poonawalla
'BJP has not released the report of Crimes Against Women in the last 3 years': Congress' Avani Bansal

'These statements encourage criminals': Nirbhaya's mother Asha Devi

Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot landed in a fresh trouble on Sunday for his remark, that murder cases after rape have increased after the law providing death sentences for rape convicts came into force. While the remark triggered criticism with several politicians condemning the statement, the chief minister later clarified that the Nirbhaya case verdict was in “good taste".

Addressing a press conference in Delhi on Friday, chief minister Gehlot referred to the December 16, 2012 Delhi gangrape case, which was later called as the ‘Nirbhaya’ incident. The four men convicted of the gang rape and murder of a 23-year-old physiotherapy intern on December 16, 2012 were hanged in Tihar jail on March 20, 2020.

“Ever since the death penalty (for rape convicts) is brought after Nirbhaya incident, the murders after rape have increased. The rapist sees that the girl will become a witness tomorrow, so he not only rapes but also kills her. This is happening across the country. This is a very dangerous trend," Gehlot had said.
