Delhi Police Issue Notice To Rahul Gandhi Over Remark On Sexual Assault Victims

The Delhi Police has issued a notice to Congress MP Rahul Gandhi over his recent claims that women in Kashmir had told him during his Bharat Jodo Yatra that they were gang rape victims. 

The police have asked him to give the details of those women so that action can be taken in those cases. 

He had made the comments in Srinagar during the Bharat Jodo yatra, where he had said, “In one particular case I asked a girl, she had been raped, I asked her should we call the police, she said that don’t call the police then I will be shamed”. He also said that he had heard that women are still being sexually assaulted.

Now, taking cognizance of social media posts on Gandhi’s comments, the Delhi Police have sent a questioner to him and have asked him to give details about women who approached him regarding sexual harassment.
