Cong blames JD(U)-BJP govt in Bihar for rise in crimes against women

New Delhi: The Congress blamed the JD(U)-BJP government in Bihar on Monday for a rise in crimes against women in the state and claimed that women are not safe there due to the prevailing law-and-order situation.

Addressing a press conference here, All India Mahila Congress president Alka Lamba, along with party leader Garima Mehra, alleged that the country is no longer safe for women under the NDA rule, as she cited the alarming figures of the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) regarding heinous crimes against women.

Lamba claimed that the NCRB data reveals that most of the accused in crimes against women go scot-free due to a poor investigation.
