A member of the Goa Congress women’s wing has alleged that supporters of a BJP leader threatened her with gang-rape if she campaigned in his constituency.
Speaking to ANI, Diya Shetkar, the state secretary of Pradesh Mahila Congress, said on 4 November that supporters of Subhash Shirodkar threatened her with gang-rape if she campaigned against the BJP leader in his constituency.
“I received a call from an unknown number today who threatened me, and told me not to visit Shirodkar’s constituency and not to campaign against him. To harass a woman... Shirodkar’s supporters have stooped so low to threaten me of gangrape.”
