New Delhi: A member of the National Commission for Women (NCW), Chandramukhi Devi, stoked controversy on Thursday by saying that the Badaun gangrape-and-murder incident, involving a 50-year-old Anganwadi worker, could have been avoided had the victim not ventured out in the evening.
Speaking to the media after meeting the family of the victim, she said, “Even under any influence, a woman should keep track of time, and should not venture out late. Perhaps, had the victim not gone out in the evening, or gone along with a family member, she could have been saved.”
