    Why there's no proper law for Rapists/sexual harassers in Republic India?
    There won't be such scenarios heard if Government of India comes up with a strong Punishable Law .
    Indian politics/parties/politicians all are the same.
    British shouldn't have left freeing India.
    Over-Freedom, Corrupt Government without proper rules and regulations.
    Such a Shame !!!!

    "There won't be such scenarios heard if Government of India comes up with a strong Punishable Law ." THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. I HAVE SEEN THE EXTENT OF LAW IN SAUDI ARABIA, KUWAIT AND THE UNITED STATES TOO. BUT IF YOU EXPECT THE SAME OUT THERE THEN LET ME BE THE FIRST ONE TO BREAK IT TO YOU THAT ITS NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN UNLESS VIGILANTES ARE BORN
