Bittu raised issue of death of 17 year old Ludhiana rape victim in LS

Ludhiana, December 10, 2014: Congress MP from Ludhiana Ravneet Singh Bittu today raised the issue of the death of 17 year old Ludhiana rape victim who was allegedly set afire by the accused. In Lok Sabha today he said the legal and the administrative system have totally failed to protect the victim.

Criticizing the Akali-BJP Government of Punjab for failing to instill a sense of fear among the criminals Ravneet asked how come the perpetrators of the crime repeatedly threaten the victim and the family to take back the case and how come the police fail to take measures to provide the security to the victim all these days and the criminals upon getting bail go their house and set her ablaze in front of her mother after tying her up.

The women are far more insecure Ravneet said the law and order situation in the state has worsened and the BJP being the partner in the state government is equally responsible for the situation. The BJP should come out of the state government if it feels otherwise, he said.

The incident has refreshed the memory of the Delhi rape case of December 2012, he said.
