Manohar Lal Khattar remarked by saying, “The incidents of rape have not increased, rapes used to take place in the past and even today as well. The only concern on these incidents has increased.”
He also added by saying, “The biggest concern is that in 80 to 90 percent of rape and eve-teasing cases, the accused and victim know each other. In many cases, they know each other for a long time and, on one day, when there is an argument between them; an FIR is launched, saying he has raped me.”
Khattar’s statement was opposed by various opposition parties, which say “anti-women mindset” of the state government was exposed.
