Jaipur:At a time when the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) placed Rajasthan in second position after Uttar Pradesh in terms of crimes committed against women in 2021, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Friday attributed the rise in numbers to the compulsory FIR system introduced in the state, adding that more than half of the cases of crimes against women were false.
“Who commits rape? In most cases, the crime is committed by acquaintances of the victim, including relatives. About 56 percent of cases of crimes against women were fake as false cases were filed. We have initiated action in this matter,” the Chief Minister said.
