Enough Is Enough

Everyone needs money n would have seen Italian Job, Ocean 11, 12 & 13 but no one dare to attempt because we are all in fear of getting caught and most with a thought of running rest of our lives with that shame. Then with what trend a girl is being sexually abused by her own relations and strangers. In other way accused can be categorised as known person, VIP and strangers. Way to get rid of a crime is to understand why it is happening because some crime cannot be stopped by punishment alone.

If accused is known person (like her own relatives or school teacher or own cab driver or neighbour) they would’ve done this with a thought like a girl will not shout about this in the name of culture because they know her family and they can threaten the victim. As most of such cases victims are minor. They may not even know the difference between the fields called sex in application and sexual intercourse. So they use their ignorance or fear on society for their pleasure.

In case of VIPs (like politicians or millionaires or big shot’s heirs) they have good value to do that as they have power and money to cover it up so they may not think about any consequences.

If we take 2012 Delhi rape case (as we all heard often without any option) all the accused were strangers and more particularly she died only after 13 days so which means she was alive at the time they threw her out of bus they didn’t try to kill her and cause of death is brutality. Then importantly they didn’t even bother about a boy who came along with her. So in which means they didn’t even think they can get caught as they don’t even have any strong background. This raises too many questions on many cases.

National Crime Records Bureau data (as at 2015) show out of 100 registered cases in India the accused is known to the victim 86 times. So if we teach our princess about difference between good touch and bad touch we can more or less avoid 86% but not that easy as I say. In other way 86% criminals are very well known faces and not anonymous. Notable point is as at 2013 it is 98%

Not able to get the split for remaining 14%, where it’d be better if they maintain as VIP and stranger.

As mentioned earlier if accused is VIP like politician or millionaire’s heir they must be punished without any mercy as they do it because of the power they have and money they own. When it comes to strangers it should be properly investigated as even there are chances of VIPs get involved in such crime, intention of the investigation should be in finding the hidden faces and not letting the accused free.

But amendment made after 2012 Delhi Rape case mostly about the act of penetration of

penis and the word rape has been changed to sexual assault. In case of punishment it still says not less than 20 years but which may extend to imprisonment for life, which means life imprisonment is the last option and no word for capital punishment. Verma committee’s recommendation was not completely taken into consideration but Government stand is like suggestions were not rejected but changes can be made after proper discussion. So until the discussion gets over please be prepared and not sure whether it has been started.

In other hand media took some cases especially brutal one for their TRP and creates a wrong perspective as India is no safe for women. NCRB reports actual rate is 2 per 100,000 people tracked by United Nations and main intention to say this is such a fear should not kill her freedom.
