New Delh, Sept. 23 -- AAP Delhi unit president Saurabh Bharadwaj on Wednesday questioned the Delhi government's handling of women's safety after a 17-year-old girl was allegedly raped by three men at Aastha Kunj Park, following which Lady Shri Ram College for Women located nearby shifted its classes online.
Bharadwaj said the incident raised questions about the safety of women and students in the national capital, and asked what Delhi had achieved under the BJP government.
"What did Delhi achieve from BJP's lady CM? A 17-year-old getting gang-raped by three men on her birthday while returning from Kalkaji Temple. Even a prestigious college like LSR is forced to hold online classes," he said in a post on X.
On Monday evening, three men -- Asif, Hemant and his brother Manish -- allegedly posed as police personnel and took turns to rape the 17-year-old girl inside the Aastha Kunj Park near Kalkaji Mandir, police said.
The incident prompted Lady Shri Ram College to cancel regular classes Tuesday and shift classes online Wednesday, citing student safety. Bharadwaj also raised concerns over crimes against women and alleged cases against opposition leaders. The BJP had no immediate response.
