Another Gang Rape In Delhi : Woman Thrown Naked On Street


Gurgaon: A 25-year-old woman was allegedly gang-raped and dumped on a road in the heart of the satellite town of Gurgaon near Delhi last night.

The police say they received a call at around 10 pm about the woman. She was found naked and unconscious near the upscale Sushant Lok area, with injuries on her body, a swollen lip and bruises on her face.

In her complaint to the police, the woman, who is married and works at a garment factory, said she was returning from work at around 8 pm when a car stopped and she was dragged into it by four or five men inside.

The men allegedly forced her to drink alcohol and after taking her to an isolated spot, took turns to rape her. They finally dumped her on the road.

The cops say the woman refused a medical test yesterday as she was shaken, but based on her injuries, a case of gang-rape has been registered.

The case raises fresh concerns about the safety of women in the capital and its neighbouring areas, despite tough policing and laws implemented after the fatal gang-rape of a young medical student in Delhi last year. Four men were sentenced to death in the case a fortnight ago, with the judge commenting on the 'hair-raising and beastly' attack on the girl.

Breaking : Death Sentence For All Four Convicts


Four convicts in the December 16 gangrape-cum-murder case were on Friday awarded death penalty by a Delhi court which said the gravity of the offence cannot be tolerated.

“Death to all,” Additional Sessions Judge Yogesh Khanna said while delivering the verdict in the case that had evoked nationwide outrage and led the government to bring in a stringent anti-rape law.


“Besides discussing others offences, I straightaway come to section 302 (murder) of IPC. This falls under inhuman nature of the convicts and the gravity of offence they committed cannot be tolerated. Death sentence is given to all the four convicts,” he said.

The offence committed by Mukesh (26), Akshay Thakur (28), Pawan Gupta (19) and Vinay Sharma (20) falls under the rarest of rare category warranting capital punishment, the judge said.

The four were convicted by the court on September 10 for the gangrape and murder of a 23-year-old paramedic student.

“Court cannot turn a blind eye to such a gruesome act,” the judge said, while handing down the maximum punishment.

He said, “When crime against women is rising on day-to-day basis, so, at this point in time court cannot keep its eye shut.”

“There should be exemplary punishment in view of the unparallelled brutality with which the victim was gangraped and murdered, as the case falls under the rarest of rare category. All be given death,” the court said while reading out a portion of the order.

“This is a time when serious crime against a woman has come to the fore and now its judiciary’s responsibility to instill confidence among the women,” it said.

Besides murder, the four have been also convicted for offences including gangrape, unnatural offences, attempt to murder, dacoity, destruction of evidence, conspiracy, kidnapping or abducting in order to murder, while acquitting them of the charge of murder in dacoity.

Delhi Gang Rape : The Verdict Comes In Today, Parents Demand Death Sentence


A special court is likely to pronounce its verdict in the December 16 gang-rape and murder case that shook the collective conscience of the country and sparked outrage that forced the government to bring a stringent law and set up special courts.

The verdict is being closely watched as the country has seen a rise in crime against women, which, among other things is blamed on a clogged and slow-moving judicial system.

  
The four accused — Vinay, Akshay, Pawan and Mukesh — can be sentenced to death, if found guilty. Their under-aged accomplice, who has since turned 18, has been sent to a reform home for three years after a juvenile board handed down a guilty verdict on August 31.

The sixth accused, Ram Singh was found hanging in his Tihar jail cell in March.

The parents of the victim have already demanded death sentence for all the accused. They were crestfallen after the juvenile was given a mild punishment.

“Nothing short of a death sentence for all the accused will satisfy us. Only that can bring peace to our minds and to the whole country,” the victim’s father told HT.


The accused had raped the 23-year-old trainee physiotherapist and then shoved an iron rod into her body in a moving bus after assaulting her male friend, the prosecution said.

After brutalising the woman, the men threw the couple out of the bus.The woman succumbed to her injuries on December 29 at a Singapore hospital.

Winding up his arguments on the day on September 3, the day court reserved its judgment, special public prosecutor Dayan Krishnan said he had placed sufficient evidence to nail each accused. Defence though said none of the accused was on the bus and they were being framed.

The trial began on February 2, with the court charging the five accused with 13 offences, including gang-rape, murder, kidnapping, unnatural offences, attempt to murder, dacoity, destruction of evidence and conspiracy.

Proceedings against Ram Singh , considered to be the prime accused, ceased after his death on March 11.

The woman’s friend was among the 84 prosecution witnesses, all of whom stood by their statements in the court.

Her mother, the investigating officer, the magistrate who recorded the dying declaration, some policemen, doctors who treated her at the Safdarjung hospital, where she battled for life for 10 days, and DNA experts also testified during the trial.

Social: Delhi Gang Rape : 24 Hours


One of the brutal incidents in the near past happened in Delhi where a women was raped by a gang and her friend was brutally assaulted with an iron rod. Thanks to Delhi police it took only 24 hours to solve the crime and to get the culprits into the hands of law.

A 23-year-old, para-medical student was gangraped in a private moving bus on Sunday night between Munirka and Mahipalpur in south Delhi area. The girl was gangraped, brutally beaten, stripped and thrown out of the whiteline bus near Mahipalpur flyover along with her male friend, who managed to file a police complaint at around 1.15 am. The incident, according to reports, happened at 9.30 pm. The duo had boarded the bus from Munirka and were on their way to Palam, where the girl stays.

The arrested 32-year-old is the driver of the bus, Ram Singh. It was his brother Mukesh who was driving the bus at the time of the crime. He, along with four to five others have been detained and raids are on to arrest all the accused, sources added.

The tracking was done in under 24 hours, however the Police is not sure what started the argument, but the bus was loaded with 7 passengers when the couple entered in and there are suggestions that there was an argument with the male passenger and others. However only four of them is accused of this incident. Here is the set of incidents which helped the police uncover the mystery:

* The CCTV cams on the highway showed the bus pass by at 9PM which indicated that the bus had written 'Yadav' on its side. With seats and blinds design visible.
* The police went to a bus stand in RK Puram sector 3, close to Munirka, where the victim and her friend had boarded the bus. About 40 white buses are usually parked at the stand and transporters there identified it as a bus used to ferrying children at a south Delhi school.
* The police then traced the bus to suburban Noida and tracked down the bus driver, Ram Singh, now the main accused in the case.

* The police were also able to track the remaining assailants via mobile and also that one of them had picked up the mobile of the victims did help.

What happens to them will be watched over the media as there is more row of people lining up to protest against this mishap, it has been put on to the government to analyze their security and to give a meaningful justification to why the capital city is being subjected to this violence.

What Should Be Done

We personally feel that the victims should be chemically castrated, as a fair warning to the future assailants who think that they can get away after having committed such an act.

There should be fair count of checking atleast in the city perimeter to avoid such an incident which happened just around the evening time.

As for women, please be equipped with a pepper spray or a similar safeguard material so that you can atleast make your way out when you can. As we are living in a free country, it is not advisable to stay back home, but please be safe than be sorry.

What we also advise is that be good enough or have a friend good enough to check the situation of your travel and if you have a slightest of doubts, get out of it as quickly as possible.

Be suspicious to anyone you meet and always be prepared. Sounds crazy but should help in avoiding getting into such.

These are just few crazy thoughts that we feel when we heard it, hopefully we will have a much tougher law passed on.

Bipasha Basu to get bitchy




Buzz is that actress Bipasha Basu will be seen playing the role of Bhanwari Devi in her upcoming movie titled "BITCH".

The movie is based on the life of a Rajasthani woman named Bhanwari Devi. Bhanwari Devi is a low-caste potter from Bhateri, a small village in Rajasthan located 55 km from the state capital Jaipur. Most of the villagers belonged to the conservative Gurjar community, which is higher in the caste hierarchy than the Kumhar caste, to which Bhanwari belongs. 

Bhanwari Devi was a nurse who allegedly blackmailed Rajasthan politicians over their sexual misconduct. She was gang raped by high caste villagers in the year 1992 and the subsequent court case attracted widespread media attention nationally and internationally.

The film will show the life and struggle of Bhanwari and her fight for justice.

The role of Bhanwari Devi has already been depicted onscreen by director Jag Mundhra . The movie directed by him was named Bawandar (English Title: The Sand Storm) and was released in the year 2000 and the role of Bhanwari was played by Nandita Das. The movie was produced by Gaurang Joshi and Jag Mundhra.

Seems as if Bipasha Basu is all set to play the role of a tough village girl.
