The Uttar Pradesh Women's Commission leader and member Meena Kumari has received flak for her comment on rising rape cases.

When questioned about the situation, Kumari blamed the increased usage of cell phones among girls and said "Girls these days are talking on their phones all day, which lead to them eloping with boys. We need to keep an eye on our girls." (Roughly translated from Hindi).
