POLICE NEED TO WORK HARDER
WHERE our daughters, sisters and wives are vulnerable to
ghastly crimes, the whole talk of women empowerment is a sham.
As long as
conviction rate remains low, rapes will keep happening.
The police force from top to bottom, needs to be upright,
honest and energetic. The grit, determination, perseverance, innovation and
stamina of the investigating agencies are abysmally low and smack of apathy and
neglect in investigation and registration of rape cases.
Deterrent laws and better quality of investigation and
protection are required to take or other criminal cases to their logical end in
courts.
Judges have legal compulsions, they cannot go by emotions
and sentiments but by evidence and facts presented by Prosecution Department.
The Criminal Law Amendment Bill dealing with sexual offences should be made deterrent
by incorporating exemplary punishment to the rapists.
