Somya Gurjar, the member of Rajasthans State Commission for Women who clicked a selfie with the Alwar rape survivor has resigned.

Earlier, a selfie clicked by Gurjar with the 30-year-old woman -- who was allegedly raped by her husband and his two brothers who tattooed expletives on her forehead and hand for not giving Rs 51,000 as the dowry -- had stoked a major controversy.

The chairperson of the commission, who was also seen in the selfie, sought a written explanation from Gurjar.

Congress spokesperson Shobha Oza had said that it is shameful the saviours of women rights are violating laws.

It is so shameful that the chairperson and the member of the Rajasthan Women Commission are taking selfie with a rape victim, who was tattooed and gang-raped by her husband and his brothers, said Ojha, demanding resignation of the wilful defaulters.
