Rape incident proves women not safe in Pune: Sule

State Women’s Commission and state NCP chief Rupali Chakankar said the police have started their investigation into the case to find any other motive behind the incident.

“Such incidents are on the rise and there needs to be a check on this. Pune city is preferred by citizens for their livelihood, education or to live. It provides facilities for safe commuting urbanisation and is preferred by students or professionals for their future career. However, the incident took place despite good field work by police,” she said.

State BJP leader Chitra Wagh said this cruel mentality of a few was on the rise in the state. “The accused must have done a recce of the house before committing the crime. Police investigation will bring everything out into the public. The police have started a search operation to nab the accused.

Similar incidents have taken place in the past so my request to all women is to be alert and vigilant,” she said.

City NCP chief Prashant Jagtap said the law and order situation in the city has collapsed under the BJP’s rule at the state and Centre. “The women are no longer safe in their houses as well. The city has voted BJP to power in 2014, 2019 and 2024 t the state and Centre as well as as in municipal corporation.

It is serious that the law and order situation under their rule is in a bad state. This is cheating the public by the ruling BJP. Chief Ninister Devendra Fadnavis and Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar should declare that Punekars should from now take care of themselves instead of relying on the government,” he said, adding that the Chief Minister should resign, taking moral responsibility for the collapse of law and order situation in the city.
