The Rajasthan State Commission for Women member Somya Gurjar, who took a selfie with an alleged rape survivor, resigned on Thursday. She has been summoned by the National Commission for Women, which demanded an explanation.
The selfie wasn’t clicked for entertainment. The survivor wanted to click a picture. We also wanted a picture of the tattoo for investigation. It shouldn’t be leaked.Somya Gurjar, Rajasthan Women Commission
Chairman of State Woman Commission Suman Sharma said that the picture was clicked from behind and made viral on social media. The real disrespect was shown by the person who circulated the photo, she added.
