"PM ordered immediate arrest of the suspect" - what a joke! Mr. PM get serious. Get on TV, launch a serious campaign against such a behavior, get relentless, seek public support, ask people to be vigilant, tell women/girls on how to protect themselves...there is someone out there who witnessed it and until you motivate the society, crimes like these cannot be controlled.

I hope , two things will not play the dirty roll here 1- The DNA tests would be used to apprehend the so far unknown rapist WITHOUT allowing the CII council based Mullahs to rule against its use and to urge the poor soul to produce 4 adult muslim witness else get herself convicted of zina , 2- Once the culprit is identified by this scientific method , I hope no one will come froward to forgive the culprit in the name of God ..... If these two rules are taken care with the purpose of providing justice to the poor girl , Only then , we can see the purpose and usefulness of the administrative notice taken by the Chief minister .

Rape is for me - at least - as serious a crime as murder. The culprits should be punished accordingly. Basically the rape victims are condemned to live like walking dead. Those responsible for such a crime should not go away easily with it. In our society (and also in many other countries, also in Europe) the notion of partial responsibility of the victims is wide-spread and it is completely absurd! Victims are victims and have no responsibility for a crime they suffered. Many rape cases do not come to light and are not registered because of this absurdity. Knowing our social framework, I appreciate the courage of the family of this poor lady. Wish you and your family a lot of patience and good luck

Why does it require some one in authority to take notice for the poor before action begins. ALLAH's doesn't and HE is the ALMIGHTY. Wake up world these are our children. We should prevent it before it happens. We should be aware of the fact (no matter what any ill heart say) we will return to HIM.

Mr. CM stop circulation of obsene videos, books, films and pictures in the city, which are going on in the name of freedom of expression. Also support an NGO where young men of limited means can get married. The facilitation of Nikah and the obstruction of filth is required in addition to punishing people who commit such henious crimes.
