Ayodhya, Dec 13: A priest of Ayodhya’s Hanuman Gari Temple, Raju Das, has announced to reward Rs 1 lac to anyone who kills a rape accused. He also said that if a policeman kills a rape accused, his family will receive the necessary help.
When asked why Das was making such announcements, he responded saying the motive behind the appeal is to spread awareness among people that those guilty of such crimes should not be spared.

“Often incidents of crime against women are taking place and those committing them are people among us. It is all about the mindset. Similar crimes are also being committed on children…” Das said.
“Jab tak is par samaj sajag nahi hoga, tab tak ispe ban nahi lagega (Till our society does not become sensitive, such crimes will not stop),” he added.
Ayodhya Circle Officer Amar Singh said, “We are unaware of any such statement. If it has been made on a public forum or site, we will verify it and take cognisance.”
