SUCI(C) on the ghastly incident of gangrape and suicide in Rajasthan
Comrade Provash Ghosh, General Secretary, SUCI (C), issued the following statement on 18.05.2026: The shocking and horrifying incident of gang rape of two sisters and their subsequent suicide in Jodhpur, Rajasthan has sent shockwaves throughout the country. The elder sister was lured by a boy, fell in love with him and then the boy entered into physical relationship with her. He video-photographed their intimate moments and then started blackmailing her with the threat of making the video public. The boy with his accomplices went on gang-raping her continuously for nearly four years. The girl finding no other way to escape took her own life in the month of March last. The younger sister lodged complain to the police giving names of the rapists. But the police did nothing. Then came the turn of the younger sister. She was threatened by the rapists that the video of her elder sister would be made public if she refused to be similarly gangraped by them. And the culprits started gangraping her as well. She again went to the police and pleaded that if the culprits are not apprehended, she would commit suicide. Yet, the police did nothing, and the gang of criminals went on raping her brutally. Being helpless, she followed the path of the elder sister and committed suicide by taking poison on 15 may last. During this time, Delhi also witnessed a repeat of the horrible Nirbhaya rape and murder incident. Other states are also no exception. All such sexual assaults went on with impunity when the BJP in both the central and the state governments and the Prime Minister regularly clamouring for ‘beti bachao’. The ruling party leaders claim themselves as the torchbearers of sacred Sanatan Hindu Dharma. Is this the much-glorified Sanatana dharma where girls are subjected to regular sexual assaults by criminals? No words are strong enough to condemn these ghastly incidents and the eerie silence of the police administration. We call upon the people of the country to raise their voice against such dastardly sexual assaults and demand immediate stoppage of such crimes and exemplary punishments to the guilty.
