The Indian raped by six men gave them via test tracks when dying


Jyoti Singh Pandey the young student of Physiotherapy 23 died after being raped by six men on 16 December, and whom the press has christened Nirbhaya pseudonym, he recorded in a document on behalf of their attackers. He did, according to information coming to light today, in the midst of his own agony, in the hospital, unable to speak, write-in the presence of a judge who recorded his 'statement', under section 164 of the Indian Penal Code- the name of at least four of his assailants : Ram Singh (the alleged gang leader and bus driver), Mukesh Singh (brother of the bus driver, who claims to have been tortured by the police), and Vinay andAkshay (monitor gym and cleaner buses, respectively, who said they were falsely implicated). Nirbhaya had heard the names during the terrible assault. The document, signed by the examining magistrate in the early hours, was made ​​by Nirbhaya could answer questions with gestures . There were even some multiple choice with multiple answers, so that the victim could indicate the correct option.

A courage 'unusual'

So Nirbhaya have answered many questions correctly as the color of the bus ("white"), where they were addressed ("Munirka"), the number of people inside the bus ("five to seven"), the rate ticket charged by the defendants ("20 rupees", less than 0.30 €), the time of the incident ("21.30"), and so on to make a pretty accurate story that everyone seems to highlight its "unusual courage ". Before such a Declaration would recorded, Safdarjung Hospital doctors had indicated that she was alert and cooperative. Nirbhaya have said so twice , one with the police and another before a judge. The research concludes that their answers were consistent on both occasions and that match the statement his companion, computer engineer aged 28, Awindra Pandey, who was beaten with an iron bar unconscious. However, in a country with very little confidence in its public, street rumor that the victim would have died in New Delhi and have been moved to Singapore to simulate his death there, in order to avoid an increase in the riot popular for a few days caused chaos and left a policeman killed in the capital. The truth is that, according to the hospital report the first hours, Nirbhaya would have been admitted to Safdarjung hospital in Delhi, about 2330 hours on 16 December, and only transferred to the ICU around 5:00 pm, five hours and a half after his admission, sparking numerous and incisive criticism. Furthermore, when the police sent samples of the teeth of the defendants to study its coincidence with the marks on the victim's body, the hospital itself would not be prepared technically argued to carry out the examination.

'Unlikely' death penalty for rapists

All this comes to light while the Indian justice minister, Ashwani Kumar, admits that there is "little chance" that the committee commissioned by the Government to review the penalties for crimes of sexual violence for amendments being punished more severely , recommended the death penalty. "A lot of experts and lawyers have told me that life imprisonment is more severe [for rapists] that the death penalty , "explained Kumar.However, he insisted that no such declaration was just a personal view."We will await the commission's final report, due out later this month," he added. Last week, Congress had also recommended a life sentence for the rape and murder. Also, Ashwani Kumar, said that the reason for the slow Procedures of these cases and low conviction rate is due to the shortage of judicial officers. "So I asked the Prime Minister to intervene in establishing roads courts within three months for the disposal of cases," he concluded.

'The rape may be understandable'

Moreover, the unfortunate statements yesterday by a leader of the conservative and Hindu Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the largest opposition party to the ruling Congress party, returned to public outrage india, just a day after one Guru had to apologize for pointing out [referring to the case of Nirbhaya], which both the victim and his attackers "had the same fault." "The rape of adult women may be understandable, but if someone does a child should be hanged . " Ramesh Bais, current Member of Parliament and Minister of Chhattisgarh between 1998 and 2004, condemned the incident in a residential state school for girls and tribal village in Kanker Jhaliyamari, in that state, in which at least nine of the 40 residents have been raped , according to a medical report. Six people, including two teachers from the school, were arrested on Sunday. It should be noted, finally, that these days have appeared signs outside some schools in the affluent neighborhoods of South Delhi. Under the slogan "Go home directly after school ", intended to advise young students to avoid possible aggression. "If you go to a friend's house before your parents informed ";" takes a piece of paper in your wallet with your address and phone number "," do not leave the school without permission from the teachers, "" Do not talk to strangers "or" do not take food, drinks or gifts from strangers "are some of the tips that can be read.Also, insist on "not lose confidence in yourself, report suspicious people and never remain silent about harassment." Police, who claims to have authorized these signs, it does have a direct line to police women in all schools in the capital and will soon expand telephone lines with the authorities of each school and / or college. The Indian Home Ministry also has called for increased night patrols , and is studying the creation of a committee of Civil Protection personnel, serene, former military and women's NGOs in each district police station, so that any incident is reported to the police of a more interactive way.
