On Dec 16, we all woke up to a rude shock of brutal
happening in the Capital of our country. We all citizens protested against the
brutality and against dismal law and order situation in the country. Many
politicians gave statements in all their sincerity but ended up kicking a
hornets nest. Police made their presence felt everywhere and increased their
beat area. Govt tried its best to show its sincerity by sending the girl to
Singapore (may be a bit late). Our Honorable Home Minister gave a statement
that he has written to State Governments, asking for their suggestions in
forming stricter law against these crimes and suggestions on what should be the
age of a juvenile culprit to be considered fit for punishments to the crime he
was party to.
To my mind this is a case of administrative action to be
employed by an able administrator and not of a policy making and therefore
without wasting time asking for suggestions - act. What are we looking at to
increase the number of years in jail? To give death penalty? These provisions
are all there in the penal code. What is required at this juncture is services
of a Chulbul Pande.
Stricter laws, lowering of age of juvenile culprits, more
police force, GPS in buses are required but more than that what is required is
in plain and simple words terror; and how this terror should be, this should be
directed towards the prospective criminals.
Following are the steps which are immediately required:-
When the crime is brutal, equally brutal should be the
punishment. Capital punishment of hanging is very dignified way of punishing
such brutal actions. During freedom struggle our national martyrs were handed
out death penalty and they were hanged. To give the same punishment to these
brutal people is to insult the martyrs. It is to insult our national hero’s.
lastly it is an insult to the punishment itself. These brutal animals…sorry
animals are never brutal when they kill. In this case atleast her last wish
should be respected and these six persons should be burnt alive and in public.
In fact Kasab should have been hanged in public or if nothing else it should be
covered live by television channels. Unless this is done, it won’t act as a deterrent.
The justice should be fast and the convicts should be
brought to book in one week. The ideal is to burn them alive on 13th
day of her demise. The rituals should be completed by burning those persons
alive. Then only her soul will rest in peace and would become an effective
deterrent. Punishing the guilty after 5 – 10 yrs won’t provide any deterrent.
The treatment given to the juvenile culprits should be based
on the brutality of the crime. This Govt should not go by the mathematical
number of his age, which shows he is less than 18 years. What a shame to
teenage. The crime indulged by him and the brutality shown by him is no way indicative
that he is a juvenile. It is a work of a pervert, adult sick brain, although
his physical age may be within 18 years. To spare him is to have one convict
alive. To spare him is to insult the girl. To spare him is to create a role
model for many vulnerable juveniles, who would become bolder and indulge in
such crimes and get away, by the law.
There is no requirement of asking for suggestions. At this
moment of disgrace we require the services of Chulbul Pandey, who by his mere
presence can stop the crime. The police should be given a free hand to nab the
culprits and treat them as culprits. Human rights activists should not
interfere in this. Then only these brutalities will stop. Otherwise they will
not.
