The gang-rape and murder of a 50-year-old woman in UP's Budaun could have been avoided had she had not gone out alone in the evening, a member of the National Commission for Women has said. "I tell women again and again that they should never go out at odd hours under anyone's influence," commission member Chandramukhi Devi was quoted as saying by PTI. The 50-year-old had gone to the temple on Sunday afternoon and was sexually assaulted and killed allegedly by a priest and his two disciples. The NCW member was sent to meet the woman's family by Commission chief Rekha Sharma, who tweeted on Thursday evening to condemn the panel member's remarks.
