JAIPUR: Leader of Opposition Tikaram Jully Monday accused the Rajasthan govt and police of delaying an FIR in an alleged sexual harassment case involving a pregnant woman in Jaipur’s Malviya Nagar, saying a complaint filed on March 26 over a March 25 incident was not promptly registered.Calling Rajasthan police’s social media post “highly objectionable”, Jully questioned Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma and DGP Rajeev Kumar Sharma on why mandatory FIR registration, introduced under the previous Congress govt, was discontinued.“The victim filed a complaint at the police station on March 26 about the incident of March 25, but police did not register an FIR. Police tweeted that the FIR was registered on April 12, keeping in view the sentiments of the public. If this case had not come to light in the media and social media, the police would have suppressed it like thousands of other cases. The objective of the BJP govt and police is no longer women’s safety, but rather to reduce statistics by not registering FIRs,” Jully wrote on X.
