A 4-year-old girl child was allegedly abducted by an unidentified man and sexually assaulted inside an abandoned building in the heart of Mapusa town late Sunday evening. Of course, CM Pramod Sawant to cool down the tempers of Goans has condemned the horrific incident and has assured of taking strict action against the culprit responsible, stating that the accused would remain behind bars permanently. Well, Sawant should first tell as to what punishment his government has given so far to those who have already been caught in other rape cases and how many of them are still languishing in jail. The reason why there's a rise in the number of such horrifying rape cases in the State is because the BJP government is not seen doing anything worthwhile to punish rapists and give justice to rape victims in Goa. I therefore personally feel that those found guilty of brutally sexually assaulting/raping minor girls should be given life imprisonment, if not hanged to death (like in Saudi Arabia) to stop all sex perverts from committing such heinous crimes against young girls and women in Goa in future.
