Hindu party backs police officer on rape charge
Print Edition
INDIAN right-wing Hindu party Shiv Sena said yesterday that filing sexual assault charges has “become a fashion” in an article backing a state police officer accused of rape.
The hardline Hindu nationalist outfit — a key ally of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government — threw its support behind the senior officer accused of rape by a model.
“Cases of charging men with molestation and rape in to create hype is on the rise. It’s almost become a fashion,” Shiv Sena wrote in its party mouthpiece, “Saamana” (To Confront).
“After he has served for so many years in the police force, a model now charges DIG (deputy inspector general) Sunil Paraskar with rape and in one night he becomes a villain.
“Such accusations have become good weapons to seek personal revenge.”
The Indian judicial system must “open its eyes” and protect the innocent because “all the laws in the country favor women so anyone can slap any charge against anyone,” it said.
India toughened sex assault laws following the fatal gang-rape of a student on a bus in New Delhi in December 2012, which sparked nationwide protests.
The model who filed the rape complaint, and who can’t be named for legal reasons, hit out at the article later yesterday.
“This matter is in court, no-one should be commenting on sensitive matters like this without knowing all the facts,” she told national news agency Press Trust of India.
