“Rajasthan CM is in denial when he says 50% of rape cases in Rajasthan are fake”; says Rekha Sharma

National Commission for Women (NCW) President Rekha Sharma lashed out at Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Saturday over his statement that 50 percent rape cases in Rajasthan are fake.

Taking to Twitter Sharma said, “Rajasthan CM @ashokgehlot51 is in denial when he says 50% of rape cases in Rajasthan are fake. Exactly with the same mindset, his police work, and that’s why women in the state don’t get justice.”

Earlier on Friday, CM Gehlot said that the cases of crimes against women in the state are false. Because of the compulsory FIR system in the state rape case numbers have increased.

“Who commits rape? In most cases, the crime is committed by acquaintances of the victim, including relatives. About 56 percent of cases of crimes against women were fake as false cases were filed. We have initiated action in this matter,” CM Gehlot said.

“The DGP is standing next to me. I would like to say that those who file false cases should not be spared so that others don`t dare to defame the state by filing false cases,” Gehlot further added.

According to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), in 2021 Rajasthan is placed second in crimes against women.
