BHOPAL: The Shivraj Singh Chouhan government on Tuesday morning took a major decision to reopen all past cases of alleged rapes which were closed in police files. The revelation was made by state minister for home affairs Uma Shankar Gupta, who said: The state will reopen all closed rape cases and reinvestigate them.'' This means that thousands of cases where investigation proceedings were closed will be reopened for fresh probe.
Madhya Pradesh has repeatedly figured as the state with maximum rape cases registered for more than a decade. Speaking to reporters, home minister Uma Shankar Gupta claimed that during investigations of recent cases of crimes against women, it was found that many of the accused were habitual offenders. They figured in police files for previous cases of atrocities against women and minor girls. According to NCRB reports, between 2001 and 2011 the state registered 9,465 cases of child rapes.
We will first investigate why these cases were closed. What were the circumstances under which the police decided to close the files instead of taking the case towards prosecution,'' the Home minister argued. If the cases have been closed under pressure from any quarter or for other reasons including lapses on the part of the police and administration. Because in the past few months of investigations, it was found that accused who get away with committing the crime once, get encouraged and do it again.'' Gupta argued that this exercise would be an attempt to bring to justice those rapists who walked away free.
We will look at each case from the beginning and if there is even a small hope of bringing them to justice, we will,'' he added.
On Monday evening, the chief secretary of Madhya Pradesh R. Parasuram also called a special meeting to find ways of controlling increasing crimes against women. The administration has planned prompt formation of neighbourhood police in urban areas and 'gram raksha samities' in the rural areas for protection of women. The home department is working on the details of the neighbourhood police and gram samiti cells and the groundwork will be ready by the end of the week, the state government said.
