The state of Maharashtra seems to be well on it's way towards acquiring the dubious distinction of being the most "rappening" state of them all, it's been well over two weeks since the horrendous incident in Bhandara district wherein three sisters between the ages of 11 and 5 were brutally gang raped, murdered and their corpses were subsequently dumped in an old abandoned well........
Union home minister Sushil Kumar Shinde had made lofty promises about the culprits being brought to book at the earliest and exemplary punishments being handed down to the culprits but nothing of note has happened ever since other then the suspension of the concerned Circle Inspector of Police for his abject failure to take cognisance of the complaint filed by the mother of the missing girls and duly register an FIR in the matter.......
Three more rapes have since come to light, two of women between the ages of 30 and 40 being belonging to the scheduled castes and tribes being brutally assaulted and paraded naked by their upper caste assailants within the village that falls within the Satara district on February 25, 2013........
And the third being that of a minor school girl being gang raped and left to die within the home borough of Maharashtra home minister R.R. Patil, namely Sangli district on February 28,2013; the police is still groping in the dark and is yet to apprehend the assailants in all three cases as has become their wont.........
Messrs Union Finance Minister and home minister, setting up of a corpus fund under Nirbhaya's name is not the solution to these soul stirring and inhuman crimes against women, but timely investigation, identification and apprehending of culprits and their trial before duly designated fast track courts is..........
Have the two of you ever spared a moment and thought about setting up a centre based investigation agency that would solely concentrate and focus it's energies on crimes against women; this special investigation cell could be head quartered in the national capital and headed by a woman police officer of DIG or IG rank..........
The same can be created under an act of parliament, have the powers to supercede the local police forces in matters of investigation and arrest and report to the presiding officers of both houses of parliament; and adequate budget, required manpower and specialised equipment can be provided to this newly constituted investigative agency through supplementary budgetary grants........
Responsibility, accountability and jurisdiction of the said investigative agency could be fixed at the earliest, and heads should be seen to roll if the very same investigative agency fails to complete it's investigation into a crime within a maximum period of ninety days from the date of occurrence of the crime.......
Only such and other such allied measures will send out the signal that the ruling dispensation really means business in this regard and not mere tokenisms like the setting up of a Nirbhaya safety and security related fund will suffice to address an increasingly alarming and grave situation...........
