Home Minister Rajnath Singh has given an assurance that he will look into the recent gender crimes in Bihar, according to a member of the National Commission for Women(NCW).
The Commission also shared a report on the issue, including on the brutal gangrape in Motihari last month, during a meeting with Singh at his residence on Thursday.
Sushma Sahu, a member of the Commission who accompanied Chairperson lalitha Kumaramangalam at the meeting, said, “Rajnath Singh has assured us that he will look into the matter.”
There have been several instances of gender crimes recently in Bihar, including two rape cases in Motihari, an acid attack in Aurangabad and a case of an acid attack survivor committing suicide by electrocuting herself. The commission had shared its report on the Motihari gangrape with the Prime Minister’s Office and also met the President earlier this week seeking his intervention in the issue.
