Rights campaigners on Wednesday demanded that the head of India's top investigation agency resign after he said during a panel discussion on sports ethics that "if you can't prevent rape, you enjoy it".
Ranjit Sinha, director of the Central Bureau of Investigation, which tackles corruption and other high-profile cases, apologized for the remark, but it was roundly criticized.
The issue of sexual violence has been in the spotlight since the fatal gang rape of a young woman on a Delhi bus last year sparked nationwide protests.
