The Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) on Sunday condemned the brutal gangrape and murder of a mentally challenged girl in Rohtak and called for stricter laws to deal with such crimes.
"Such incidents are happening repeatedly. The government must act and punish the culprits as soon as possible. The law should be stricter in order to stop such incidents from happening. This is a hateful act against women," said DCW chairperson Barkha Shukla Singh.
Meanwhile, social activist Annie Raja too condemned the incident and said that it was ironic that a place like Haryana, where the "Beti Bachao Beti Padhao" was launched is reporting such crimes.
"It is shocking to hear such incidents taking place everyday. It is ironic as Haryana is the place where 'Beti Bachao Beti Padhao' started and now there are reports of such brutal crimes coming out. We condemn it in the strongest possible words," said Raja.
In yet another heinous incident, a mentally challenged girl was brutally gangraped and murdered by unidentified men in Rohtak. Her body was later dumped on the Rohtak-Hisar highway.
According to reports, it was difficult to recognise her body since wild animals had attacked her face. The victim's body was found on Wednesday without the key organs and with sticks, stones and condoms stuffed into her private parts.
