Ahmedabad: Rape is one of the most common crimes against women in India.

According to a report of the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), there are 88 rape cases in a day on average in the country.

What is the reason for such high numbers of sexualt attack on women?

According to Gujarat Home minister Harsh Sanghavi, the main reason for incidents of rape in India is easy access to pornographic videos on mobile phones.

“We always blame the police for rape incidents. But such incidents are a blot on society. We cannot only blame the police for such incidents. When a father rapes his small daughter, is this not a huge social issue? If a father rapes his daughter, the reason is his mobile phone,” Sanghavi remarked, adding that Gujarat is the safest state in the country.

Another major reason for high incidence of rape in India is that known people like neighbours and family members are often the culprits, especially when it comes to young girls, the minister stated, quoting a recent survey.
