Earlier in the day, the Rajya Sabha witnessed a ruckus with members of the Congress and the Samajwadi Party coming to a collision over the Bulandshahr gang-rape case.
Raising the issue with a particular mention to the Bulandshahr incident, in which a mother and her daughter were gang-raped by armed men last week, Rajni Patil of the Congress said the incidents of rape and other atrocities against women was on the rise and the House has to discuss the issue.
Three days after the horrific gang-rape in Bulandshahr, the family had threatened suicide if the culprits are not punished.
"I want my wife and daughter to punish them. If they are not punished within three months, then all three of us will commit suicide," the cab driver whose family was attacked, robbed, beaten up and tortured, had said at a press conference, quoted NDTV.
The family was driving to a funeral in Bulandshahr in Uttar Pradesh, around 65 km from Delhi, on Friday night when their car was waylaid by a gang of robbers.
The miscreants took the vehicle to a swamp and then robbed the family, beat up the three men in the car and took them to the fields, before raping the women.
