By sentencing the 4 Rapists of Delhi girl, the sentencing Judge proved to be upright in delivering the judicious judgement. With this judgment one step has been cleared for the gallows for all the four rapists. The next step to achieve real justice for the victim and all the multitude of people not only from Delhi and in other parts of India but also from all over the world, their sentence should be implemented. The real justice will be fulfilled when the next Courts – Appeal Court and even the Supreme Court approve the preliminary judgement delivered recently by the Fast Track Court.
Meantime is there any real possibility for these Rapists to go for an Appeal to the Higher Court? And if yes, who will bear the heavy expenses for the high profile Lawyers to fight for these Rapists? All the 4 Rapists are poor financially and in such a situation who the financiers coming forward to bear their expenses and for what benefits? This is a big question for me to answer but it is very intriguing. It is not only for these Rapists but even for others who commit worst crimes and worst robberies, financiers immediately come forward to hire top Lawyers for the perpetrators of crimes of different nature.
Coming back to the juvenile Rapist who masterminded this rape from the point of coaxing the victim and her boyfriend to travel in their Bus, deserved more severe punishment of the type Saudi Arabia gives. It is very risky to allow this boy to move freely after his release in another two years because he will go for another rape and more rapes which satisfy his greed for forbidden fruit. He knows the taste of such crimes and knowing this very well he will surely try for the more such rapes.
These Rapists are sick in mind and precisely because of this sickness they indulge in rapes otherwise they would satisfy their sexual urge thru legal ways by going to the prostitutes who are plenty in Delhi's brothels.
In order to control juvenile's illicit sex crimes in future, I strongly feel that while in the prison serving his sentence he should be punished with “Chemical Castration” so that he does not get the urge again for committing rapes on innocent girls. It is time for the authorities concerned now to put a complete full stop for his sexual urge otherwise there is every possibility for him to disturb the peace of society. It is said that "when Lion tastes blood of his prey he is restless for more and more". This is what will happen to the juvenile Rapist.
Secondly, as it is done in some advanced Western countries, once this juvenile is released from the prison, his residential area should be tracked and in that locality all the residents should be made aware of this boy’s presence and residence there so that all are alerted to take precaution of his presence in their locality.
It is very dangerous to leave him free to do what he wants. He is a young boy without any proper direction with full of anger and revenge which surely he will release on any of his prey.
Finally, I request the Indian Human Rights activists not to interrupt the sentencing judiciary saying the punishment allotted to the 4 rapists is not correct. They should not demand from the authorities to spare these rapists from going to the gallows. I am sure if any of the female Human Right activists was raped, they would ask for more severe punishment.
Human Rights are meant for human beings only and not for such wild animals. These rapists have no place in society and as such their punishment should be upheld.
