In the information sought under the Right to Information Act from the Deputy Inspector General of Police, Haldwani resident Hemant Gonia said that police have registered rape cases of 3956 women under different police stations till the year 2019.
While 4 crore 81 lakh 80 thousand rupees have been spent by the government as financial assistance to the rape victims and financial assistance of Rs 17 lakh 90 thousand has been provided to the acid attack victims.
RTI activist Hemant Gonia said that the graph of crime is increasing continuously in the quiet plains of Devbhoomi Uttarakhand. The incidents of rape are increasing every year, but no concrete law is being implemented by the government to prevent incidents of rape. As a result, the incidences of rape are increasing.
In such a situation, the government should immediately take strict action against the culprits by giving justice to the victim in the incidents of rape and acid attack.
