Sir,
It is of course a shocking story of apathy in West Bengal wherein a village panchayat sentenced a girl to be raped by 12 youth of the same village, a very shameful decision of its own kind. Panchayats are considered a type of village court which can solve the problems of local people of far flung rural areas, keep check on crime and help the poor for their development. But these type of so called Kangaroo panchayats in the country need to be tackled immediately.
How shameful is this that after raping, the culprits celebrated in the village. No one dared to stop them. Simultaneously in UP state also two real sisters were abducted and allegedly gang raped just making mockery of the law and order of the state. What has happened to this country one is puzzled. It seems total jungle raaj prevails in the country.
Nine rapes are reported in 48 hours in Bengal. Where is law and order? Is CM of west Bengal silent on law and order issue?
Stringent laws are to be incorporated in the constitution of india to curb this menace in the country so that girls and women folk can feel secure in this country.
Yours etc….
