Even as the nation is still mourning the brutal rape and murder of Hyderabad veterinarian Disha, a policeman from Gurugram has made a shocking statement that has invited widespread fury.

The on-duty policeman reportedly stated that girls wearing short dresses should either be killed by their parents or somebody else. "I believe that these rapes and gangrapes are not forced but consensual. No man is a monster. Their parents don't give them proper education, they are not taught how to dress properly. There is no time of sleeping, eating or studying. They themselves invite crimes. Then they say some crimes have happened in front of cops. They ask for it. It takes two hands to clap. The situation is very bad. We cops feel cold but these girls never feel cold. They wear such short clothes," the policeman allegedly said during a sting operation conducted by a news agency.

"I was at Huda City Centre a while back. I have never seen such dresses in my life. You can see their legs up till the waist. That dress had a slit up till the waist. She had two tattoos on her chest. What kind of clothes are these? You can see both the breast. Her parents should kill themselves or she should be killed," his outrageous statement continued. It is yet to be known whether or not action will be taken against him.
