Easy access to porn on mobile phones is main reason for rapes: Gujarat minister Harsh Sanghavi
India Today
Gujarat home minister Harsh Sanghavi said that easy access to pornographic content on mobile phones is the main reason for rapes in India.
According to Gujarat home minister Harsh Sanghavi, the leading cause for rapes in India is easy access to pornographic videos on mobile phones.
The other major reason for high incidence of rape in India is that known people like neighbours and family members are often perpetrators of the same, especially when it comes to young girls, he added.
Harsh Sanghavi said that a recent survey revealed that mobile phones and known people committing crimes were the main reasons for high incidence of rape in India.
He said, “We always blame the police for rape incidents. But such incidents are a blot on society. We cannot only blame the police for such incidents. Gujarat is the safest in our country. When a father rapes his small daughter, is this not a huge social issue? If a father rapes his daughter, the reason is his mobile phone."
