LETTER: No justice for victim

The story of a girl who was raped by the stepfather of her friend is quite shocking and horrible.

The story of a girl who was raped by the stepfather of her friend is quite shocking and horrible.

A girl of 15 years faced trauma because she never imagined that a man could be so cruel and boorish. She is still scared, and has developed hatred for men.

The law has not served justice for her. The criminal was sentenced for only three years. Can it deter him from committing such a crime again?

There should be strict punishment for this crime.

In India minimum punishment for rape is seven years. If the victim is minor, then the criminal is not granted bail at all, and punishment is 12 years to 20 years.

Our lawmakers should make law that does not allow very light punishment.

Parents should also make their kids aware of such impending dangers.
