Nationalist Congress Party leader Supriya Sule demanded that Maharashtra government conduct a thorough probe into the rape and killing of a 18-year-old girl in Marine Lines. Reacting to the same, she said that such incidents indicate that women are unsafe in the state and that it does not reflect well on the state.
Sule took to Twitter and wrote, “A young woman’s body was found in a women’s hostel at Marine Drive in Mumbai. She was raped and murdered. This is a very serious and unfortunate incident. Such incidents are constantly underlining that women are not safe in Maharashtra.”
Further, offering her “heartfelt condolences” for the “unfortunate” victim, she wrote, “It is necessary for the state government to conduct a thorough investigation in this matter. It is certainly a matter of concern for Maharashtra that a criminal goes to the extent of going to a girls’ hostel and murdering her.”
She was quoted by news agency ANI as saying, “This is a very alarming matter, both Central and state govt are not serious about women’s safety & it’s a failure from their side. Security arrangements must be made in the hostels. Govt must install CCTV cameras and alarm bells inside the hostel and helpline numbers also should be set up.”
