BJP demands Rajasthan CM Gehlot's resignation after rape remark

The BJP demanded the resignation of Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot after he blamed the law for an increase in rape cases. Gehlot said that ever since the law to hang rape accused came into force, the incidents of murder after rape have increased across the country. "Due to the law on the hanging of culprits after the Nirbhaya case, the incidents of murder after rape have increased. This is a dangerous trend being seen in the country," he added.
