Congress has lambasted Rajasthan Home Minister Gulab Chand Kataria over his remarks in the Bikaner gangrape case. Hitting out at his comments, Rajasthan Pradesh Congress Committee chief Sachin Pilot mentioned, "Rajasthan home minister Gulab Chand Kataria has no right to continue as home minister. The kind of allegations he has made (in Bikaner girl case) are inhuman."
Kataria had raised doubts over the allegations of gangrape of a minor girl by eight of her school teachers in Bijaner. Kataria, a senior leader in the state BJP, had wondered why the girl did not make the gangrape allegation the same day.
The girl's father had alleged on the 23rd of this month that his daughter was gangraped by her school teachers in 2015. Allegedly, a video was also made which was later used to threaten the girl. However, before that, on the 20th, another case was registered against the girl's family members alleging that they indulged in manhandling inside the school.
Today a team from the state women commission visited Bikaner and sought to know the status of investigation in the case.
