Re: [IAC#RG] Murder of a young girl in Delhi (was sexonwheels)

Hello Vidyut,

 

To me the broadcast highlights an important aspect in the light of protests galvanized by the gruesome cruelty of the accused, which I believe was directed more at the ineptness of the government machinery in preventing such acts, than the act itself.  The fact that there are hundreds of such cases languishing around in the country, without the benefit protests, shows that the public at large has accepted it as the lot of the Indian citizen, whose prime focus has become self-insulation. 

 

After the ordeal the helpless, devastated, severly beaten, 'only witness' and the nearly dead girl, lying naked at midnight in the cold dirt by the roadside, would have been hurt far far more by the apathetic public and the police.

 

One way or another the accused will pay for their crime - it does not matter whether they are killed, jailed, or castrated and set free.  What matters now and forever, is the in-human attitude of (at least some of) the public and the police, more than that of the government.

 

Best Regards,

 

Virender

I was wondering of the impact of broadcasting a show in which the "only witness" condemns the role of all except rapists in the fate of the victim - the day before the rapists go on trial for murder - the only charge to justify demand for death penalty as per our laws applicable in this case. What does it mean to the case if public apathy, police delays and hospital's lack of caring contributed to the infection that finally killed her? While it is undoubtedly true (along with her last minute Singapore trip), if we want rapists hanged, how useful is it to bring this up after chargesheet is filed and on the evening before trial begins?
