Four incidents of sexual assault were reported in the past three days in the state. People in general and women in particular have lost their faith in law and order, he claimed in a statement issued here.
It seems the BJP government in Haryana is "least bothered" about their genuine concerns. These incidents have "ashamed" the people, Surjewala said.
In Faridabad, a woman was abducted and gang raped in a moving car while two minor Dalit girls in Jind and Panipat were raped and killed. In Pinjore, a 10-year-old girl was brutally assaulted, he said.
Citing figures, he claimed to be from official data, Surjewala alleged that crime against women had increased in the state since the Khattar government assumed charge.
"In 2016, Haryana reported 1,090 murders, 1,189 rapes, 191 gang rapes, and 4,019 kidnapping and abduction incidents. This is three murders, three rapes and 11 kidnappings and abductions on an average everyday.
"In order to hide repeated failures, there have been a number of changes and transfers of DGPs and senior officers in the state recently. But the conditions have remained the same and people are not feeling secure," Surjewala said
He claimed that this was the first government, in which three director generals of police have been changed in a span of three years.
