The increasing sexual violence against women and girls in India over last couple of months has been a difficult issue to address. The government has been under scrutiny from civil rights groups and the world at large after after the rape and murder of a student on a Delhi bus in December led to widespread protests. No one seems to understand what is going on and why these cases have become so consistent that the government cant put an end to it.
It became a very bad situation when a 5 year old girl was taken hostage on Monday and attacked in a locked room for over 48 hours, according to the police. Her cries were heard by a passer-by who rescued her. The poor girl is battling for her life after being allegedly kidnapped and repeatedly raped by a neighbour in the Indian capital, Delhi.
According to the chief of Swami Dayanand hospital, RN Bansal, there were injuries to her lips, cheeks and chest wall. There were
bruises on her neck. Although, she was brought in traumatised, no arrest has been made to bring in the monster who out her in that state.
The police are also looking for a group of men who allegedly gang-raped a 19-year-old woman on Wednesday night. A new bill passed by India to reduce the rate of rape by introducing harsher punishments, including the death penalty for rapists. But, the rape cases has continued to pile up and the culprits have been elusive to the police.
It makes one wonder what must have been going through the minds of these criminals who have given mothers sleepless nights, and instilled fear into young women walking the streets of India. Will there be an end to these troublesome situation?.
