Haryana fast becoming rape capital of north: Kiran Choudhry

Chandigarh, Jan 31 (UNI) Haryana Congress Legislature Party leader Kiran Choudhry today asked the BJP government, led by Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, to take urgent steps to check the soaring crime rate and stop Haryana from acquiring the dubious distinction of becoming the rape capital of northern region, and ensure people, especially women and girls, safety and security.
In a statement here, she said with daylight murders becoming the order of day and rapes being cases rocking all parts of the state, law and order situation had deteriorated like never before, making people feel unsafe and insecure.
Ms Choudhry said while rape cases were being reported every day from every part of the state, Panchkula and Gurgaon districts were hogging the limelight. Panchkula had five rape cases in the first 27 days of this month. One involving the rape of 21-year-old engineering student on January 18 is yet to be solved. Gurgaon records at least one rape case every alternate day. Only yesterday, eight persons gang-raped two women inside a factory in Pataudi. Their ordeal went on for about four hours after which the miscreants merrily walked away, she added.
