Belgavi: Questioning Shobha Karnadlaje’s silence on Katua and Unnao rape cases, KPCC women’s wing President Laxmi Hebbalkar has challenged the BJP MP to condemn the incidents publicly.

 “Ms. Karandlaje has been speaking on every issue. Why is she silent now? She should clarify her stand on these incidents,” Hebbalkar said.

The Congress leader further said that the BJP is in power in both the states which are responsible in shaming the country. In one such incident, BJP MLA is also named as accused. It’s high time for the BJP MP Shobha to question her party legislator. “This is a right time for her to raise her voice for women’s safety and condemn the atrocities against women,” she added.

Shivpuri (PTI): The 60-year-old mother of a rape accused was killed allegedly by the victim's brother in Madhya Pradesh's Shivpuri district, a police official said on Saturday.

The incident took place on Friday, Rannod police station house officer (SHO) Arvind Chauhan said.

"An anganwadi worker returning from a hospital was offered a lift by one Inder Gurjar, who took her to a secluded spot and raped her. She called up her brothers to narrate the ordeal. One brother of the victim along with two associates went to Gurjar's house and assaulted him. When Gurjar's mother Sirkunwarbai (60) intervened, she was attacked with a sharp weapon. She died on the spot," he said.

Based on a complaint filed by the deceased woman's daughter-in-law, three persons were booked for murder. One of them was held on Saturday, the official added.

A separate case has also been registered against Gurjar for rape, he said.

Police personnel have been deployed in the area in view of tension following the incident, the official added.
