Reportedly as citizens continue to seek with anger over the gruesome gangrape and murder of a 26 year old veterinary doctor in the outskirts of hyderabad, telangana minister for Municipal Administration & Urban Development, KT rama rao on sunday asked prime minister narendra modi to amend the indian Penal Code (IPC) and Code of Criminal Procedure (CRPC) so that rapists are given capital punishment without delay and left with no option for review.
Meanwhile the minister in a series of tweets said that time to 'amend archaic portions of our Acts and Laws' have come. Furthermore he wrote, "7 years after Nirbhaya’s ghastly rape & murder; the convicts are still not hung and a 9 month child is raped recently, lower court ordered capital punishment; HC revised it to life imprisonment! A young veterinarian is barbarically murdered in Hyderabad. And the perpetrators have been nabbed. But I wonder how we can offer solace to the grieving family seeking justice. Justice delayed is justice denied sir. As the Parliament is in session, I urge you to take up the issue for a day-long discussion on priority."
Moreover he added, "Let us act swiftly to save our nation from these beasts who seem not to fear law of the land @narendramodi Ji, I appeal to you on behalf of millions of citizens who are aggrieved yet feel helpless and want us lawmakers to raise up to the occasion and deliver expeditious justice." Currently three police personnel including a Sub-Inspector were suspended for their insensitivity when the victim's parents approached police to investigate the missing of her daughter and the police allegedly suggested that the victim could have eloped. In TNM's investigation, we found that the road stretch leading to the crime spot had no street lights.
