'Hurt' Khattar calls for severe punishment

Published on: 

Amid outrage over the alleged rape and killing of two minor Dalit girls in Haryana, Chief Minister Manohar lal Khattar on Wednesday assured that strict action would be taken against the guilty. He said Haryana is in the process of establishing special courts for speedy trial in such cases to ensure timely justice to the victims.

“Such incidents are very unfortunate and I am myself deeply hurt. We will take strict action against all those involved (in committing such crimes),” he told the media.

Appealing to Opposition parties, Khattar said he himself has never done politics over such incidents and the Opposition should refrain from politicising such sensitive issues. “The State has already started a Dial 100 project. Soon we will also begin 1090 service, a dedicate helpline service for women,” he said.
