NIRBHAYA

December 16 is not a kind of date which any Indian would feel proud to remember. It would have been an ordinary date if those bastards had not beaten the life out of an innocent 23 year old girl. Yes.. Exactly 2 years ago, a 23 year old girl named Jyoti Singh Pandey was brutally gang raped in front of his friend who too was severely beaten, on a private bus at 9.30 PM. The incident has ignited protests all around the country and people and govt. started concerning the security of our girls a little more seriously. The incident will be a black mark our history for ever. 

The accused were 6 which included a minor. All were arrested and charged for kidnapping and sexual assault. One of them hanged himself to death while the other 4 except the minor was sentenced to death. The minor too was given the  maximum possible punishment of 3 years imprisonment in a reform facility. But the irony is, its said that the minor was the most savage among them.

Well my doubt is that.. If he was matured enough to commit such a brutal crime.. Isnt he grown enough to accept a more sever punishment?? Well... a 3 year imprisonment does not do good to an animal (Am i insulting them??) who has done something really ferocious.

The incident happened on the night of 16th December,2012 when two friends boarded a bus in Munirika, South Delhi. The bus had 5 passengers and a driver namely Ram Singh, Mukesh Singh, Vinay Sharma, Pawan Gupta, Akshay Takur while the sixth one(the minor) is unknown. The five except the driver taunted them,asking what they were doing at such a late hour. The male friend tried to protest but was beaten gagged and made unconscious by beating him with an iron rod. The girl was then dragged to the back side of the bus and was gang raped by the five while the driver continue driving. Meedical reports say that the girl was severely beaten and a blunt object was inserted in to her vaginal track. An accused later admit that he has seen another assailant in the bus pulling out some rope-like stuff (suspected to be the girls intestine) out of her body(fuck!! I cant believe rascals like this even exist!!)

Both the victims were thrown out of the bus whom were later taken to the hospital by local police. The girl was immediately moved to emergency ventilator. But she couldnt survive from the ferocious injuries gifted by the accused and she died on 28th of the same month.

All of the accused was given appropriate punishments(personally, I dont agree with the juvenile stuff). Protests were held at different parts of the country against the accused.

But,to our disappointment, Nothing has changed. More and more rape victims were born. Our sisters are not safe. 

I call a country developed if it's female citizens can walk through a street with out fear even during late nights...

Save our sisters.. Its our duty as their brothers..
