TIL Desk/National/Lucknow/ The gang-rape and murder of a 50-year-old woman in Budaun, Uttar Pradesh, could have been avoided had she had not gone out alone in the evening, a member of the National Commission for Women has said. “I tell women again and again that they should never go out at odd hours under anyone’s influence,” commission member Chandramukhi Devi said.
The 50-year-old had gone to the temple on Sunday afternoon and was sexually assaulted and killed allegedly by an occultist and his two disciples. The three this men have been arrested.
“I think if she had not gone out in the evening or was accompanied by any child of the family, perhaps this incident could have been avoided. But this was pre-planned as she was called through a phone call. She went (out) and then returned in such a state,” Chandramukhi Devi said after meeting the woman’s family.
