Police alone cannot curb rape incidents, says MP DGP; flags pornography, moral degradation
Ujjain, Jun 29 (PTI): Police alone cannot curb rape incidents, Madhya Pradesh DGP Kailash Makwana has said while citing factors like moral degradation of society due to availability of pornography through mobile phones and the internet.
Speaking to reporters on Saturday after chairing a review meeting of the force here, the Director General of Police said, "The way pornography is being served on the internet, the minds of children are getting distorted."
"There are many reasons behind the increasing incidents of rape. I think it includes internet, mobile phones, availability of pornographic material and alcohol. Today, through mobile phones, someone is connecting from somewhere to someone else. There are many such reasons for the decline of morality in society. It is not possible for police alone to deal with it," he asserted.
Children used to listen to teachers and family members earlier but "today no one is able to keep an eye on each other in a house", Makwana claimed.
Now all limits are breaking, he added.
"The way obscene content is being served on the internet, it is definitely distorting their (children's) minds. This is the reason why these incidents are happening," the DGP emphasised.
Incidentally, in the last session of the MP assembly, the state government had informed that 20 cases of rape were registered daily in 2024.
As per statistics made available by the state home department, 6134 rape cases were registered in 2020, which touched 7294 in 2024, a rise of 19 per cent.

HC orders preservation of Sunjay Kapur's assets on plea by Karisma Kapoors' children
New Delhi (PTI): The Delhi High Court on Thursday directed preservation of the assets of late Sunjay Kapur, ruling that all "suspicious circumstances" raised by the industrialist's children from his marriage with actor Karisma Kapoor have to be completely removed by his third wife, Priya Kapur, before the acceptance of his purported last will.
Justice Jyoti Singh passed the interim order on an application filed by Karisma Kapoor's children to restrain Priya Kapur from alienating their father's assets, reportedly worth Rs 30,000 crore.
The interim application was filed in a suit by the children, challenging their late father's purported will of his assets.
"Having heard and on examination of the material on record, I have the considered view that all legitimate suspicious circumstances raised by the plaintiffs will have to be completely removed by defendant number one (Priya Kapur) before the document is accepted as the last will," the judge said.
"Plaintiffs have made out a prima-facie case that the assets which are subject matter need to be protected, preserved, pending disposal of the suit," she added.
Justice Singh ordered that the equity shareholdings in the three Indian companies of the deceased cannot be changed and also restrained the disposal of his personal effects, including artwork.
The court said if the assets are not preserved and Priya Kapur ultimately fails to prove the validity and genuineness of the will, the deceased's children from his marriage with Karisma Kapoor -- his second wife -- and his mother Rani Kapur would be deprived of their legitimate shares.
"I have restrained from alienating, transferring, pledging, liquidating or in any other manner changing the equity shareholdings in the three Indian companies. I have restrained from withdrawing the PF amount. I have restrained from withdrawing monies from the three accounts except to the extent of discharging liabilities towards the children," the judge said.
The court clarified that it has not passed the order with respect to immovable foreign assets.
A detailed copy of the verdict is awaited.
Sunjay Kapur died on June 12, 2025, after collapsing during a polo match in England. He had reportedly suffered a sudden cardiac arrest.
