Crime against women on the rise in Rajasthan| Police Constable| Ashok Gehlot| Sachin Pilot| Congress

Assault on women has emerged as a critical and widespread issue in our nation. From incidents like the disgraceful incident of a woman being publicly humiliated in Manipur to the alarming prevalence of rape cases, particularly notable in Rajasthan, this problem demands our immediate attention. These distressing facts are not my own, but rather statistics provided by the National Crime Records Bureau in the year 2021.
In a shocking incident in Rajasthan's Dausa district, a police constable, identified as Mahesh Kumar Gurjar, found himself entangled in a web of allegations that led to a brutal confrontation with locals. The police officer is now on the run because he has been accused of raping a married woman. This situation has caused a lot of anger among the public and the authorities are also taking action.
As PTI reported, Authorities say that the troubling event happened when Constable Gurjar supposedly went into the house of a 30-year-old woman in Baswa on a Tuesday night. The woman was by herself, and it's said that Gurjar forced her into a sexual act. When the woman's cries for help spread through the area, alert neighbors caught the constable. Shortly after, the victim's family members came back home and got involved in the conflict, attacking Gurjar physically

The situation became more serious when the constable was tied to a bed, representing the strong anger of the local people. This scene was like a powerful symbol of people taking the law into their own hands. It showed a moment when many people were very angry about what they believed the constable had done wrong. Police officers from Baswa station then came and saved Gurjar from the angry crowd. He was checked by doctors and surprisingly let go after that.
However, the incident's gravity soon came to the fore as the victim officially reported the assault, prompting swift action. The station house officer (SHO) of Baswa police station faced suspension due to his alleged failure to promptly report the incident to higher-ups on Tuesday itself. Alongside the SHO, Gurjar also faced suspension from his duties at a different police station.

According to a report by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), in the year 2021, the highest number of rape cases in the country were registered in Rajasthan and their number increased by more than 19 percent as compared to the previous year (2020). According to NCRB report, Rajasthan ranks second after Uttar Pradesh in overall crimes against women, while it continues to rank first in the country in reported cases of rape.

According to this, out of total 31,677 rape cases registered across the country in the year 2021, 6337 were in Rajasthan, while 2845 rape cases were registered in Uttar Pradesh. In the year 2020, the registered cases of rape in Rajasthan were 5310 and in 2021 it increased by 19.34 percent.
