Following which criminals have got extra mileage to conduct such heinous crimes”.

Slamming the role of State women’s commission, she added, “It is surprising as well as shocking how the state women’s commission is playing the role of a silent spectator. Instead of conducting investigation to dig out the whereabouts of the cases or see that the criminals are punished, the state women’s commission authorities are in deep sleep”.
