That would be because the keepers of the law do not have the ***** to keep such wild animals under check. Such people shouldn't just be punished, but also made an example of.

its worthy to keep even an illegally acquired small arm just to serve headshots to the likes of such swines at the 'opportune' moment.
scum like these & their acts not at all deserve to be tried under procedural law. best justice to them would be the way utsav sharma did it (a bit rorschach-style). no offense to anybody, but what does north india have to make the people there more rowdy, unwantonly aggressive, over-the-top egoistical (that 'jattgiri', etc., pent-up sentiments, which are now-a-days confused with & spent in acts like shown in the video, instead of being used in meaningful ways of 'purushaarth' akin to the said 'real' sentiment), self-worshipping/herogiri-types, etc.?!

Edit: i wrote the above in anger, but still in restraint (can't really help it; my handle says too). the comment above was also an observation from some of the delhiites themselves, but you may please ignore it. such type of bugs exist everywhere, somewhere sparsely, at other places, densely. but i seriously expect these & such other wastes of 'man' to meet disastrous ends.

At least, peppersprays and tasers should be made available in India, for purposes for self-defense.

But, I am also in favor of the illegal firearm routine. It is better to be arrested for self-defense than for some stupid facebook comments (off topic).

While it may be wrong to label people, it is a fact that North Indian cities - specially Delhi - are a lot less safer than South India. I have lived in Delhi and Hyderabad for many years - and the difference is instantly noticeable in the way both these cities treat women. (disclosure - I am a "North Indian"). Perhaps there are some sociological reasons for that, but it is a fact.

The protection of law and proper legal procedure should be the right of normal people - it should not be extended to perverts. Summary and exemplary punishment is NEEDED - the fear of law should be instilled till such time that people become really "educated" and realize that every human being has the same right to exist. Just see the above video - this happened right in front of a camera. Which law protects those perverts - what justification can they give for this act?

Very worst. Imagine the same to a lonely girl on a road.

Atleast, this lady reporter has a cameraman who shot the faces of culprit + their car number well, that served as a concrete evidence.
Laws should be made strict; Without a strict law, even the conscientious person will have a thought of "Just try this one-time. Who's gonna bust me!", though their conscience stops them from doing it.

Atleast, Chennai is laudable in these matters.

Well, there is more lewdness on other country television/movies as well, but such incidents are almost negligent. Hell, even in India, it is still concentrated in the Northern regions, despite of the same movies all around the country.

In this case, I think, upbringing and education are a major factor in such behaviour. You don't get an attitude like that over night.

Yes ! The fear of Law must be instilled upon this kind of people. Society, Police and the Netas must stand up and take it to a conclusive point.

The voice today at India Gate must conclude with positive and firm steps by the Police and Netas.

This comment seems to say it all:

Analysis of all major accidents mishaps shows that no accident is spontaneuous, but a series of incidents on a smaller scale which go unnoticed.. In our case, even if alert citizens try their best to bring such incidents to the notice of police or other agencies, they are discouraged or even threatened not to do so.. tha major reason is political interference with police functioning.. removing tinted glasses from nehicles is a ridiculous thing.. what does the law do with the criminals who have been caught ? The sevety plus people in the parliament are incapable of even thinking up an action plan .. they are just concerned about vote banks.. God help us..

Well, a corrupt visual/aural onslaught coupled with an environment (upbringing, provincial mindset, solely materialistic education, lousy laws & law-bearers, lack of moderation in our life, etc.) that fosters the desire to exercise 'power' & 'control' is probably behind such hell-shaming acts!

Both of you are a little misinformed. You can legally buy ARMS in India for Self-Defence.

Which got a lot more difficult to acquire recently!

Just saw an hour or so ago that another reporter from Headlines Today became a victim of eve-teasing which was caught on the camera! (and a comment on the youtube link of the above video posted in the OP reads that the guy in the video is the comment-author's neighbour & he was thrashed by people all day & was cast out from his home!)

But strangely, i switched to Aaj Tak a few times but there seems to be no follow-up on this case. or have i missed something?! would like to know.

I hear that you don't get them easily. Plus, minimum age for gun license is 21 years, so those younger cannot get one. So, pepperspray and tasers are cheaper and easier to obtain IMHO.

I do think that if all women had guns, this problem would have been long resolved. Thought it might bring up new problems, but that is another story.

According to this article : Indians For Guns • View topic - Applying for an Arms License in India

In Delhi the Police have a tendency of denying licenses if your stated need is "protection of person or property and private security", unless you can "show cause" in terms of a justifiable and real threat to life or property. Their logic is that Delhi is a well policed city and you don't really need a gun for self-defence. You will also be (almost certainly) asked to produce income proof documents in such cases

What can I say?

I agree that procuring a ARMS license in India this days is not easy and is very difficult.

Although I poses a Revolver ( made in england ) which was licensed to my father in the 80's . The reason was never for Self - defense but for Target practicing.

The Gun /Arms are required to be deposited with your local police during emergencies and wars. So, during the kargil was, the revolver was at the police station and not with me.

While renewal and purchase of ammunition, permission from local magistrate is a must in writing. You will have to carry the gun/revolver to the Court for this purpose.

you can buy pepper sprays in cities like mumbai....tasers-well haven't seen them anywhere in mumbai..but pepper spray should do it for self defence..gun licence is a pain in the back to get...you have to prove here that you have a threat on your life & then maybe the police would give the go ahead..might as well save all the headache & pickup a pepper spray..
There seems to be another problem with this self defence. I remember a case in mumbai where a girl was being harassed & the friend of hers shot that man...he got in a lot of trouble & had a hard time explaining that it was for self defence...so proving it in court that it was an act in self defence is a pain...don't know what happened thereafter in the case..will try to look around the net...

That's a good point raised by you.

Even it becomes difficult for a Police Officer himself to prove in a court of law that he fired at the criminal in Self - defense. ( that is, the criminal fired at him first )

So, for a normal citizen it is too much difficult to proof unless you have trust worthy eye witnesses to prove your self defense case in Indian Court trial.

This brings to one very important factor as well. Misuse of Revolver [ like in the recent case of American School shoot out ].

The best GIRLs and BOYs should carry is pepper sprays.

And

Very Important to see around you before you take a ride on the public bus. The girl who was raped, was actually not traveling in a normal Public Bus. It was a school bus taking a random run on the street, which apparently picked up the unfortunate girl who had to go through all the act of pain and suffering.

So, its my humble appeal to all GIRLs and BOYs to look around first, confirm the correct bus / auto / taxi before you board into one.

- Always note the Auto Number / Driver's Name in your mobile or elsewhere during the journey.

- Always note the Taxi Number / Driver's Name in your mobile or elsewhere during the journey.

- Always confirm the Route No. of the BUS / its colors / make and model / even the license plate before you board into one.

- Always take a public bus for its designated Bus Stop / Bus Stand / Bus Station.

- Do not board an EMPTY bus / with few male passengers.

Now that you mention it, I just remembered something one of my Delhiite friends told me. There happen to be gay rapists around Noida. If this is true, then even the guys are not safe.

^ Too much things to do for some A-holes. Nowadays along with education one should learn how to defend these garbages.

Only viable option because trying to tame wild beasts is a gargantuan task. Rapists need to be castrated, at least surgically. Gotta love Islamic countries in such matters, rapists are sentenced to death.

^^psychological strength is as much important as physical strength.no amount of training is going to help you if you froze because of a psychological block(remember those police officers who just can not fire their weapons in real situations even after scoring high in training).i strongly believe that women especially Indian women are weak on this account & this issue must be fixed first before giving them training/tips about fighting.even without any training with good psychological strength any human being can fight purely on basis of instinct if motivated enough(e.g.though not appropriate i just read in local news about a middle aged household woman who bite off & swallowed the index finger of another woman in a war of words!!).

This is a serious problem and peeper spray or arms can't solve it. Arms I know in what way they can also be used. A proper legislature and a strong and independent police force is necessary. Guilty should be severely punished. But in India, most often innocent are proved guilty by this corrupt system. So everything need to be done from the scratch.

By the way, people from Assam can always carry 1 or 2 "Bhoot Jolokia" if not peeper spray. Ha ha

i had suspected this. but there's a section or two in the IPC which can be slapped against that rat, esp. after having such a substantial evidence (i think 506 or 509). i had written above that the youtube link to that video had a comment by an author who claimed that the dimwit happened to his neighbour & was soundly beaten in broad daylight by one & all the following day and was cast out of his home. it this is true, then this is perhaps a better punishment to him, as probably such people fear about knowledge/news of their act(s) reaching their home & societal-retribution more than being taken to a police station where they can pay up & gain their freedom back.

The cause of rape is getting excited and not having self control and also not having strict law n order to control. SO which cause you are referring to? Living beings will get excited, nobody can control it, self control varies for person to person and laws, that's what people are demanding from long.

Die for transplant ? I actually don't know whether intestine transplant is possible or not.

Actually, in cases like this, our laws are more stringent than, say, American laws. The problem is enforcement. When barely 10% of actual rapists get convicted, how hard is it to be afraid of going to jail for a long time when someone is about to commit such a dastardly crime? Add in alcohol and it is even worse.

Death Penalty for rape won't work, not to mention that it is likely to be struck down by the Supreme Court anyway. We have the death penalty for murder, but there are so many murders. When someone like Kasab lives for 4 years after being caught, when people convicted of absolutely abominable crimes (eg a convict who murdered 5 people of a family and also raped one of them) are not put to death, then it won't work. What we need is stringent implementation of the laws that we already have, and perhaps some changes.

One isolated incident gets media's attention and all aboard the bandwagon competing with most gruesome methods of torture and death. When was the last time that you went to police station and they filed report without a hitch ? Why a common man is actively discouraged to file a report when approached to law authorities ? Why nobody dared to put a shawl or cloth over the bare body of victim thrown out of bus or perhaps get them to help ?

Such monstrous incidents do not magically appear out of nowhere ? It's the series of incidents gone unnoticed and without any check that leads to criminals committing bigger crimes.

In 2011, 453 rapes (reported) happened in Delhi. That's more than a rape a day. Almost all of them sunk with time.

chop of the D!cks(castration) of the rapists,strip them

Kid, Do you even know what castration is?

While it may be wrong to label people, it is a fact that North Indian cities - specially Delhi - are a lot less safer than South India. I have lived in Delhi and Hyderabad for many years - and the difference is instantly noticeable in the way both these cities treat women. (disclosure - I am a "North Indian"). Perhaps there are some sociological reasons for that, but it is a fact.

Yeah, right.

if we learn and teach about moral values in life , we can reduce crime to a certain extent .... hanging , castrating or other punishment are not the real solution to the problem they are just balm to the disease but we need surgery ...

Our society has morally degraded. It is sad. Higher penal sentences and better vigilance by cops will not correct these matter. Societal issues take decades (if not centuries) to be corrected. Men/boys/guys are made rotten within their own households by parents and surrounding relatives. How does this happen: A son is considered God, and the patriarch to lead on the family line. So they are glorified and the women of the house are are made to be servants. Example: picking up dishes for the men after they eat, even for a young male child, washing their dirty clothes, and covering up their short comings. A man comes to think, when he "comes of age"; that he is a king and women are just animals. This is aggravated to a higher degree if their is lack of education and/or urbanization in the family. Come marriage be: The man is tethered to a slave-woman and he can do what he wants, and the boys mother, keeps on advising the daughter-in-law how to keep her son happy. Once a child is born, rinse and repeat if a BOY. The mind set of males is engraved with the ideology that we are better and can do as we deem fit to any women. There is no respect and privacy, and is utter nonsensical and barbaric.

It is going to get worse. Cause sadly, most of the law and order personnel, judiciary, politicians and policy makers are all males. You cannot drive a cause or propagate emancipation of a concept -till- you are not in complete clarity and look at the latter with a sterile PoV.

On a discussion show on RSTV, one girl among the audience raised a question to an ex-IPS officer & now an advocate, who was one of the panelists, that the Lt. Governor has made it mandatory for the police to register any type of complaint(s) brought to them by a woman, but what about the situation(s) when sometimes the women who go to file a complaint are themselves mistreated (i guessed the girl was indirectly referring to such cases which happened in U.P. earlier, like the incident mentioned above)?! to this, the gentleman put up a charade of a reply (which was quite expected) - "In such cases, the policewaala is dealt with very sternly & first-of-all immediately removed from active service. But generally its your fear of the police that restricts you from viewing them as someone to help you, arising out of a 'tradition' of ours when a small child is told by its parents that "jaldi se khaana kha lo, warna police aa jaayegi! (finish your food quickly, otherwise the police will come knocking the door!)"

The protection of law and proper legal procedure should be the right of normal people - it should not be extended to perverts. Summary and exemplary punishment is NEEDED - the fear of law should be instilled till such time that people become really "educated" and realize that every human being has the same right to exist. Just see the above video - this happened right in front of a camera. Which law protects those perverts - what justification can they give for this act?

I agree with you to an extent. I am a Punjabi and I have lived in Bangalore as well. I can notice the difference easily.

The recent surge is according to the current trend. Before that these news were largely ignored or less sensationalized.

People always need some sensational topics, to munch about.
If found, that will be a hot-topic for many days, even months.
If another news come, former news will be suppressed and the newer one will become hot.

Moreover Medias zoom even a small matter (I don't say this rape case is small) , to a life-threatning-end-of-the-humanitarian sort of things.

A TV program with "Four-people-in-a-room + a telephone + an angry caller" is enough to create havoc to a locality.

That is the sad, sad truth of the matter - media acts like vultures circling dead bodies - a la Peepli Live!

After the dust settles - the fact will still remain - girls will continue being harassed, molested and raped. Nothing will change.

I think my once's thought could turn true after reading this Army to start intestine transplant facility soon - Indian Express

I didnt knew that much about this dehi rape case until my friends told me today. And when I heard about the iron rod thing, I was like smash their B***.
Doctors should transplant the working intestine from the culprit to the victim. They don't deserve to live. If such steps are taken, fear will eventually rise in the mind of such other culprits who are yet to be discovered.
