Haryana Congress president Rao Narendra Singh on Thursday visited a private hospital in Faridabad to meet the family of a 25-year-old woman who was allegedly gangraped and thrown from a moving vehicle. The incident has sparked outrage and severe criticism of the state's law and order situation.
Leader Assures Support, Condemns Heinous Crime
Singh met the victim's relatives at the hospital where the woman is undergoing treatment. He assured them of all possible support from the party. The Congress leader described the crime as inhumane and heinous after seeing the victim, who was reportedly unconscious and unable to speak with significant facial injuries.
"Law and order have collapsed in Haryana, exposing the BJP government that boasts of women's safety," Rao Narendra Singh stated. He emphasized that the victim's condition was severe, with injuries requiring more than 12 stitches on her head and face.
Details of the Alleged Assault
According to police, the horrific incident occurred in the early hours of Wednesday. The woman, a mother of three children, was allegedly gangraped by two men inside a moving van. Subsequently, she was thrown out of the speeding vehicle on a desolate stretch of the little-populated Gurgaon-Faridabad road.
The victim had been living with her parents following marital troubles with her husband. The police confirmed that the two accused have been arrested and sent to judicial custody following the registration of the case.
Demands for Fast-Track Justice and Compensation
Rao Narendra Singh demanded strict punishment for the accused, insisting that such cases must be tried in a fast-track court to ensure swift justice. He also criticized the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government's track record on women's security.
"The BJP government's claims on women's safety have proved hollow. We demand immediate security and proper compensation for the victim," Singh asserted during his interaction with the media. His visit and statements have brought the case into sharp political focus, highlighting concerns over crime against women in the state.
