Crimes against women were on the rise in the state but a suggestion by the opposition that the issue be discussed at length by all parties was not accepted by the CM, he alleged.
Manpada police station, under whose jurisdiction the crime was perpetrated, should be split into two for the sake of better policing, Darekar, the leader of opposition in the state Legislative Council, said.
