Official in trouble after ‘selfie’ with rape survivor

A member of the Rajasthan State Commission for Women is in the eye of a storm for clicking a selfie with a rape survivor.

According to a report, Somya Gurjar clicked the selfie when she had gone to meet the survivor at a police station in Jaipur North. The act has earned Gurjar a notice from Commission chairperson Suman Sharma, seeking a written explanation.

Shockingly, the chairperson herself is in the selfie. In her defence, she claimed she was unaware that the photograph was being clicked, adding that she does not “favour” the member’s action.
