The accused, Akshay Shinde, was shot dead by the police on Monday night after he allegedly snatched a policeman's gun and fired at them.
Reacting to the INDIA bloc's attack over the encounter killing of the Badlapur sexual assault accused, the Bharatiya Janata Party on Tuesday called the opposition's group "Balatkari bachao alliance" (Save rapist alliance).
"Badlapur sexual assault accused Akshay Shinde died after being shot at by police in retaliatory firing. On one hand, Maharashtra and Badlapur have taken a sigh of relief whereas on the other hand, parties of the INDI alliance are mourning the death of a rapist. Is this a 'balatkari bachao alliance'?" said BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla.
Attacking the Mamata Banerjee government, he said the INDI alliance tried to save the accused in the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital rape-murder.
"They tried to protect the accused Moeed Khan in the Ayodhya gangrape case...Some leaders of the Congress party and INDI alliance have started speaking in favour of rapists...This is very shameful," he said.
