Hindu Rashtra Samanvay Samiti submits memorandum
In this context, the Hindu Rashtra Samanvay Samiti has demanded through a memorandum that the police administration implement strict measures to protect girls from such harassment by fanatics.
The memorandum states that the harassment by the accused is not new. They had been teasing the girl and mentally harassing her on several previous occasions. The girl’s father had ignored it earlier in the interest of maintaining peace; however, this only increased the audacity of the accused.
At present, incidents of atrocities and harassment against minor girls have increased across the state. This has created serious concern for the girl’s safety, and her life and security are now at risk.
The memorandum demands that the police administration take serious note of this case, conduct a thorough investigation, take strict legal action against the accused, and implement necessary protective measures for the safety of the minor girl and her family.
