Abhijeet Dipke’s reaction came as the alleged gang-rape of the teenager in a moving bus triggered a wider political row.
NEW DELHI: CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke has hit out at Delhi Police over the alleged gang-rape of a 16-year-old girl inside a moving sleeper bus, questioning the force’s priorities in deploying personnel. “If even 10% of the police force deployed against students at Jantar Mantar was deployed for women’s safety in Delhi, this wouldn’t have happened. “On the night of August 4, the victim came to the Kashmere Gate police station and told police that she had been raped on a moving bus in Noida. On being questioned, it was revealed that the girl was travelling from Mainpuri to Sector 63, Noida, to stay at a relative’s house,” the DCP said. The girl alleged that she was raped on the way from Pari Chowk to Sector 63.
Delhi leader of opposition Atishi had earlier launched a sharp attack on the BJP, questioning why the governments and police administrations under its control had failed to prevent such crimes against women. In a video statement, DCP (North) Niharika Bhatt said that without going into any jurisdiction issue, Delhi Police registered an FIR and launched a search to arrest the accused.
The Prime Minister is from the BJP,” Atishi said. But girls are being raped and gang-raped,” she said. “Police got the victim medically examined, which confirmed rape, and registered a case without getting into jurisdictional issues,” the DCP said.
“Where are the forces now, Delhi Police? Dipke wrote on X, tagging @DelhiPolice. Where are you tear gases, pellet guns and lathis? “The Uttar Pradesh government is of the BJP. The Delhi government is of the BJP. The Uttar Pradesh Police is of the BJP. The Delhi Police is of the BJP. The LG is from the BJP. The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) is BJP-ruled. “Is there any institution left that is not with the BJP? Then what is stopping them from taking action against rapists?” she asked. Atishi also drew a comparison between the police response to online criticism of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and its handling of crimes against women. “The police have so much time that if someone abuses Modi ji in a video, they will find them even in hell. After the incident, the driver and the conductor took the bus to Ring Road and abandoned her within the jurisdiction of the Kashmere Gate police station.
