Raping punishment is just 7 years ??????
Why can't they just hang him and make a example out of him if he's guilty ?????
Neha,,
thanks.
Satish Thanks.
Now that Shiney Ahuja had lost Criminal Rape Case, 50% of his property should be awarded to the victim in Civil Law suit. Same must be applied with Corrupt and Looter Politicians, 7 years for RAPE’s the Trust of Citizens + Corruption and Looting the Nation charges. Unfortunately, most of the Politicians gets away with every charges.
serves him right.
Dinesh,,
thanks. our laws are made in such a way that politicians get away.
Apanatva,,
thanks.
This is an example. Serves him right
What is going to happen to the maid? Maybe they are poor, but this incident will affect them more than the starlets he is moving with.
If proven, the punishment should be more.
In Aruna's case also, the rapist escaped with 7 years' imprisonment but she is still suffering.
Insignia,,
thanks.
Sandhya,,
thanks.
But did not victim withdraw the case....should not there be charges to block justice by speaking with victim and trying to back her off
A,
Thanks.
Offence of rape is cognizable offence.
The victim changed her statement but medical report proved that she was raped.
There is provision for this.
But this rarely happens in India that witness is punished for changing his witness.
I wish ALL those are power and commit crimes must be punished
BK Chowla,,
thanks.
