Kathua Rape: The Story how an 8 year old girl was brutally raped and later murdered.
Asifa, a beautiful and innocent 8 year old girl from the district of Kathua, Jammu and Kashmir, was allegedly drugged, barbarically gang raped for days by grown men and if that did not satisfy their demonic urges, allegedly murdered and dumped on the streets for none.
The heinous crime was done inside a place where people come to worship and pray forgiveness for their sins Yes! they carried out the crime inside a temple. Also, two of the main accused are Special Officers from an Special Investigating Team, set up too investigate juvenile crimes.
A group of lawyers even protested the arrest of the accused. But, later on the supreme court slammed the Jammu lawyer's protest by pulling up lawyers in jammu for obsrtucting the filing of the charge sheet of the rape and murder case, and directed the Bar council of India to submit to it a report on the conduct of lawyers.
In the interim we must urge the Bar Council of India to remove their names from the State Bar roll, under appropriate sections of the Advocates Act, 1961, pending the above criminal investigation.
Instaces like these makes us judge about the Indian legal system. And what is frightening is they don't exist only in small states like Jammu & Kashmir. They exist and practice in major cities and towns, all across India. Well, some in more than others !!
In such a serious situation we should pray for the poor soul and request for justice to be provided to her. The culprits should be punished in the worst possible way there is.
We want Justice for Asifa.
