‘Auction of girls’: Incident happened in 2005 when BJP was in office, says Rajasthan CM | India News
Under fire over reports alleging “auctioning” of girls on stamp paper in Rajasthan for the settlement of financial dues, chief minister Ashok Gehlot said on Saturday that Congress had exposed such cases when BJP governed the state.
“The incident happened in 2005, when BJP was in power. In 2019, we came and exposed it… 21 accused were arrested, three died and one is absconding. Two children died, and the rest went to their homes. It was turned into national news,” Gehlot said at a press conference. The National Human Rights Commission, the National Commission for Women, the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights and the Rajasthan State Commission for Women have all sought reports on the allegations.
