The rape of the student who had come to tour Goa which occurred in Panaji on Monday night is highly condemnable. The present situation is a struggle for all citizens while the ruling party is perpetuating false slogans of ‘Beti Bachao'. Crimes against women are at an unprecedented high. The police force being understaffed is also a major issue. The way violence is being normalised is a troubling fact. All pillars of the Indian democracy are showing anti-women mentality. The safety and security of women and children in the country must be utmost priority for government. Snatching away a woman's integrity should be taken more seriously by law enforcement authority. Such type of paedophile rapists should be punished with chemical castration. This measure will be an additional penalty for those who commit rape. Shockingly, there are large number of cases where the punishment awarded to the accused is not in proportion to the gravity of the offence. The courts ought to have a stricter yardstick so as to act as a deterrent.
