“Both NCPCR and NCW have taken cognisance of the horrific incident in Rajasthan,” the Minister said in response to a tweet referring to the brutal incident.
Four of a same family, including a six-month-old baby were killed and their bodies burnt in Churai village under the district in the early hours on Wednesday.
The BJP slammed the Congress-led government in Rajasthan. “The law and order situation has deteriorated in Rajasthan since the Congress government came to power under the leadership of Ashok Gehlot. We can provide a list to what extent the law and order situation has deteriorated,” said Union Minister for Law and Justice Arjun Ram Meghwal at a press conference at the BJP headquarters here on Wednesday.
Meghwal, who represents the Bikaner parliamentary constituency, said, “If I analyse as a Law Minister, the reason behind this is Ashok Gehlot himself.
“Today, an incident happened in Jodhpur district. Four of the family members were burnt to death. A woman was gang-raped three days back,” added the Minister as he questioned the state government on law and order situation.
Meghwal also accused Gehlot of doing ‘votebank’ politics.
