NEW DELHI – The secretary of the Women’s Department of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind (JIH) on Monday demanded an impartial probe into the alleged rape and murder of a civil defence worker in Faridabad.
The victim, who was associated with the Lajpat Nagar District Magistrate office, was found murdered on August 26 at Surajkund, Faridabad. As per her family, the victim “had stab wounds all over her body, including her private parts.” The family has been demanding a probe into the alleged rape and murder for the past one week.
In a statement, expressing utter shock over the brutal murder of a 21-year-old civil defence worker, the JIH Secretary Rahmatunnisa demanded an immediate arrest of the culprits and ex-gratia relief to her family members.
“News reports about family members not being satisfied with the course and speed of investigation should be verified. It is a sad reality that despite so much rhetoric about ‘Beti Bachao’, we have still not created a climate in which our girls and women feel safe and secure in their workplace and outdoors,” she said.
Rahmatunnisa expressed hope that the government, law enforcement agencies, lawmakers, the judiciary and concerned citizens will chalk out new policies for the protection and security of women so that they can accomplish their potential without fear of being stalked, harassed and losing their lives to crimes that put humanity to shame.
