Can we stop RAPE ?

We know that time & again unlawful miscreants keep on making a mockery of the law & its so called guardians.The problem is that our much boasted cultural values have deteriorated & the rot has now seeped so deep that even the young generation of today is not afraid of playing around with the life & dignity of a helpless being. Strict punishment no less than life imprisonment & if possible death sentence is recommended as only then can we deter those lurking around with similar intentions. Only harsh punishments can thwart away these products of our rotten system from committing any more of such heinous crimes in future.

NEW DELHI: On Apr 2^nd 2008, three young men lured a 12-year-old girl (6TH STD STUDENT) into a car and gangraped her inside the vehicle at a secluded spot in the neighbourhood on Wednesday night. The assault took place at Khayala near Tilak Nagar in west Delhi.

The main accused, Rajiv Porwal (23), and two of his accomplices in the car — Manmohan alias Manu (20) and Rakesh alias Raj (21) — have been detained. The girl knew the alleged rapists well as they all lived in Khayala.

According to the police, on Wednesday evening, Rajiv —who owns a grocery shop in the area — offered to take the girl for a joyride in his car. He was accompanied by his friends, Manmohan and Rakesh. Police said Manmohan is a school van driver while Rakesh was Rajiv’s driver.

"When the girl did not return till late evening, her parents got worried. The girl ultimately returned late at night and told her elder sister about being repeatedly sexually assaulted inside the car. The sister then informed their mother who inturn reported the matter to the police.

In a similar incident in May 2005, a Delhi University student hailing from the Northeast was raped inside a moving car in Dhaula Kuan.
