Gujarat govt yet to start rehabilitation process: NHRC representative

Nampoothri, who recently presented a detailed independent report to the NHRC for its consideration, said more than 3,500 complaints, including that of destruction, loot and damage in the state, has been reported to the commission.

"We have received only 20 cases of rape," he said about the cases of crime against women.

However, when asked how was that possible since a number of reports of extreme sexual abuse against women have been reported so far from various parts of the state, Nampoothri said, "In cases where a women is raped and then killed, a case of murder is registered, and not rape. Secondly, many may not have come forward to talk about the atrocities."
