Mulayam shock: One person rapes and four more named in report

Lucknow, Aug 19 (IBNS) Seeking to defend the "better" law and order situation in Uttar Pradesh, Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav has unwittingly triggered a controversy, saying that one person commits rape and four are named in the complaint.

Reports quoted him as further saying that it is impossible for four men to rape a woman.

"I know of many such cases, where 1 person commits the rape and 4 people are named in the report. There are cases where one person commits crime, 4 brothers in the same family get arrested," he said.

The veteran leader made the comment while alleging that opposition parties were trying to "defame" the state government due to "political enmity."

In 2014 Yadav had made a shocking statement while opposing death penalty to three men convicted in a gangrape case, he had said: "boys will be boys, they commit mistakes."

Commenting on the law and order situation in the state, the SP supremo said  considering UP's population, crime rate was "very low".
