'If you can't prevent rape, you enjoy it,' says India's top police official
Ranjit Sinha, chief of India's Central Bureau of Investigation, apologises for remark that causes outrage across country

India's top police official has apologised for saying: "If you can't prevent rape, you enjoy it," – a remark that has outraged the country.

Ranjit Sinha, chief of India's Central Bureau of Investigation, made the remark on Tuesday during a conference about illegal sports betting and the need to legalise gambling. The CBI, the country's premier investigative agency, is India's equivalent of the FBI.

Sinha said at the conference that if the state could not stop gambling, it could at least make some revenue by legalising it.

"If you cannot enforce the ban on betting, it is like saying: 'If you can't prevent rape, you enjoy it,'" he said.

1. I wonder if he would follow his own advice?

If he were so unfortunate as to be raped. I'll bet not.

[BlueToTheBone]

5. That was my first thought. n/t

2. after reading the article

It seems to me that he was not saying if you can't prevent it, enjoy it.

I looks to me like he was saying that such a statement would be ridiculous.... and he thinks that the statements on the ban on betting are equally ridiculous.

That's my interpretation.

I do think it's a completely insensitive analogy.

9. I agree with you...

not exactly a PC statement on his part, but he wasn't giving the old "...may as well relax and enjoy it."

3. Clayton Williams? When did he move to India? nt

10. Him an old Tex Antione must been hanging together.

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

12. And Bobby Knight

[Xipe Totec]

13. All three ought to hang together. Or separately. I'm not fussy. nt

[Ilsa]

4. I wonder if his enjoyment would extend to

someone raping his loved ones? Or him? If he lived with the suffering, would it change his ignorant hateful heart? Would he despise women any less?

6. So Bobby Knight is teaching sensitivity training to the Indian police?

[Laelth]

7. Disgusting, but I think Mr. Sinha was attacking that attitude. n/t

8. I wonder if he's be willing to test that theory

on himself? No, I'm not advocating it, but if he believes it so much, I would think he would be man enough to want to prove how well that theory works, no?
