Govt can’t prevent rape incidents, says BJP leader

Jaipur, May 10: In a shocking statement, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and Rajasthan minister Kalicharan Saraf on Wednesday stirred a controversy with his remark asserting that the government cannot prevent rape incidences from taking place, adding that it can only catch hold the culprits.

"If a servant in a Jeweller's home would rape his minor daughter, then what could police do in such situation or what can government do?" Saraf said.

He further said that the government can only take severe action against the accused in such incidents and can provide best medical facility.

"What are we expected to do, to put lock on each and every house? It is very easy to make such statements. The number of crimes are increasing day by day, but what can be done about it," he said.

Mangaluru, Dec 20: City Police Commissioner Sudheer Kumar Reddy has issued a high-alert warning to vehicle owners regarding a surge in cyber fraud targeting those looking to pay traffic violation fines. Fraudsters are reportedly exploiting recent government discount schemes on traffic penalties to deceive citizens.

The Scam: How Fraudsters Strike

Criminals are using SMS, WhatsApp, and social media to circulate suspicious links and APK files (Android application packages). They claim these apps allow users to pay e-challans at a discount.

• Device Hacking: Downloading these unauthorized apps gives hackers full access to the victim's smartphone.

• Financial Theft: Once the phone is compromised, fraudsters intercept OTPs and personal data to drain bank accounts.

• Phishing Sites: Fake websites mimicking official portals are also being used to harvest banking credentials.

Already, two residents within Mangaluru city limits have reported significant financial losses after falling victim to these fraudulent apps.
