Delhi Gang Rape convict blames victim for fatal assault, Nirbhaya's parents accuse 'judicial system'

New Delhi, March 03 (ANI): Delhi Gang Rape Victim's parents accused 'loose judicial system' in India for the convict's statement wherein he blamed the victim for the fatal sexual assault. Driver of the bus in which the rape took place, Mukesh Singh said that, "Women who go out at night have only themselves to blame in case they attract attention of male molesters." He also said that women are not equal to men and are meant for household chores and asserted that the victim should not have fought back and should have remained silent and allowed the rape. Talking about the death penalty, Singh said that death penalty will only make things more dangerous for girls, in that because men will then the rapists will not leave the girl and 'will kill her after that'. Reacting on the same, Nirbhaya's parents demanded strict laws and judicial systems from the Modi government. They also demanded immediate death penalty for the accused in order to set a befitting example. Mar 3, 2015
