Contrary to the nation's expectations
the sixth accused in the Delhi gang rape case will be treated as a juvenile and
possibly will walk free after June. Adding insult to the injury, few legal
luminaries and bleeding hearts have come out in support and acting as a bulwark
for the accused arguing that laws can't be changed for retrospective cases and
children should be treated like children irrespective of the heinousness and
barbarity of their crimes. This verdict pushes the sense of closure for the
citizens too far for now. Outmoded laws need to be revisited if government
doesn't want society to turn to lynch mob. This beneath the contempt juvenile
monster will walk free in a few months but for how long? The country's agony is
too mammoth to simmer down and if he is set free because judiciary pulled its
punches then people will take law in their hands. Correct the loopholes and
punish the culprit or stay with the status quo and force the society to
demonize, choice stays with the government.
