Ensure safety of students from NE: AGP

Moving a Special Mention Notice on Tuesday Kumar Deepak Das amidst the din in the Rajya Sabha called for adequate steps from the government to ensure safety of the region’s students in the capital city.

Charging that the experience of the students in the national capital has been horrible, Das said that number of cases of heinous crimes like assault, molestation, rape have been lodged at the various police stations.

The MP raised the particular incident of December 13, when two working girls, who came to the capital city in search of jobs, were assaulted and molested by their landlords and their accomplices at Gurgaon. Both the girls hailed from Manipur.

He lamented that the Haryana Police finally agreed to file an FIR against the culprits but ‘subject to investigation’. They were booked under softer laws of the IPC, he charged.
