Her mother is mentally ill and sits outside the temple with her five-year-old son.
Condemning the incident, former chief minister Ashok Gehlot said,
“The rape of a three-year-old girl in Jodhpur is deeply disturbing. This crime has caused outrage among the public. Such incidents are creating an atmosphere of fear among the people of Rajasthan. This is an example of criminals becoming fearless due to the diminishing authority of govt and police.”
“Incidents of shootings in broad daylight, robberies, murders and rapes are increasing in Jodhpur and the law and order situation has deteriorated. I have repeatedly urged Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma to take immediate necessary steps to prevent crime in the state,” he said.
