The younger they are the more randier, voyeuristic and carnal; they get, in yet another case of rape involving a "minor", the said minor has been taken into custody by the local police on charges of raping an brutalising a 19 year old young woman......
This horrendous and gruesome incident was reported from Karnataka's Davangere town and also involved another teenager who was a close friend and confidante of the victim.......
The victim's classmate, close friend and confidante who played an instrumental role in the eventual fate of the victim as he introduced her to her assailant was also arrested late on Wednesday evening: three days after the assault on the victim.......
According to highly placed police sources: the victim a Bachelor of Computer Sciences student was returning from her customary dance classes late on Saturday evening when she was approached by her assailant who gallantly offered to drop her home on his chariot (motor bike)........
To her dismay and consternation, instead of making a beeline towards her home and hearth, he made his way towards a dark, desolate and deserted spot and then proceeded to subdue and subjugate her........
He was more than taken aback when the victim who had undergone basic karate and self defence classes fought back valiantly with all her might and it took the combined strength of two youths (the assailant as well as her supposed friend and well wisher) and repeated assaults with a boulder to suppress and overpower her.......
Taking her for dead; the two lotharios made good their escape from the scene of the crime, but alas, to their considerable misfortune, the Kittur Chenamma like girl rose like the proverbial phoenix from the dead and wend her way home despite the grievous and life threatening injuries inflicted upon her body and soul by the two brutes........
Her shocked and horrified parents and neighbours rushed her to a nearby medical facility and then went on to file a complaint against the two louts who had brought her to this sorry state........
Acting with considerable alacrity and surprising agility, the local police firstly recorded the victim's statement and then duly proceeded to apprehend/arrest the main offender from his place of concealment late on Sunday evening.......
Cases of kidnapping, forced abduction, assault, rape and attempt to murder have been registered against the 17+ year old juvenile(?) if one can call him that. He was produced before a juvenile court on Monday morning and the very same court has sent him to a juvenile justice home as per the procedure laid down by the law..........
His accomplice and comrade in arms has been booked for the seemingly lesser offences of being a willing accomplice in the crime and causing grievous injury to the 19 year old victim..........
I for one strongly believe that the mental age of the assailant and his ability to fathom (understand) the implications, gravity, depravity and consequences of the crime/offence committed by him should be the mitigating/governing circumstances in deciding the quantum of punishment and not a mere figure of age put down on either his birth certificate or his school leaving certificate as the case may be........
Every sentence should be commensurate with the gravity or seriousness of the offence committed and the age old practice of so called minors getting away with a mere rap on the knuckles defeats the very purpose of our judicial process.......
