Men who raped Bilkis Bano during 2002 Gujarat riots allowed to walk free on the same day that PM Modi promised to make the nation a better place for women.
Five of the 10 members of the advisory committee of the Gujarat government, which recommended the release of the 11 convicts in Bilkis Bano case, have links with the BJP, NDTV has found.
New incriminating facts continue to emerge in the August 15 premature release of 11 convicts in the Bilkis Bano gang-rape case and mass murder in the 2002 Gujarat violence almost every day. The latest bit is that five of the 10-member remission committee are associated with the BJP, including two sitting MLAs.
The committee has a total of four members associated with the BJP, including Murli Mulchandani whose testimony as a prosecution witness in the Godhra train attack was disbelieved by the trial court.
