Shraddha Walkar murder: Live-in relationships trigger crime, says Union minister

In the aftermath of Shraddha Walkar's horrific murder in Delhi, a Union minister in the Bharatiya Janata Party-led (BJP) central government, Kaushal Kishore, has blamed girls for the crime. He claimed "educated girls" who opt for live-in relationships, leaving their families, are "responsible" for such crimes. Kishore's remarks have drawn severe criticism from different quarters while Shiv Sena leader Priyanka Chaturvedi demanded his sacking.
