Kanda car episode being probed: Hooda
September 7th, 2010 - 12:55 am ICT by IANSChandigarh, Sep 6 (IANS) With allegations that Haryana’s Minister of State for Home Gopal Kanda’s car was used by people who gang raped a girl in Delhi recently, Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda said Monday that the matter was being probed.
The issue was raised inside the assembly by leader of opposition and former chief minister Om Prakash Chautala who sought the resignation of Kanda in the matter.
Later, a privilege motion was brought in the assembly by a Congress legislator against Chautala for making the allegations against Kanda.
Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda later told reporters that the issue involving the state Home Minister Gopal Kanda, which appeared in a section of the media Monday, was being investigated and whosoever found guilty would not be spared.
He said that Kanda had already clarified on the floor of the house that the car used in the gang rape was not his personal car.
Earlier, Kanda had said in the house that the car was never used by him till date.
“I use car bearing number HR02H 0007. That car used in the crime does not belong to me,” Kanda added.
Outside the assembly, Chautala reiterated his demand for Kanda’s resignation from the Hooda government saying that if crimes like gang rape could take place in the car belonging to Haryana’s home minister, no woman in the state could feel safe.
