Crimes committed/perpetrated by juveniles certainly seem to be becoming more heinous/galling/horrifying/mortifying and inhuman with each passing day.........
In the latest crime reportedly committed by a juvenile; a 17 year old testosterone laden youth who could not control both his cojones as well as raging libido allegedly raped an 18 month old infant/very young female child on Tuesday evening in Bareilly's Sadar Kotwali area and then callously handed her back to her parents saying that the child had fallen asleep while he had taken her for a walk........
Little did the young girl's parents realise that their darling daughter was unconscious and not sleeping as stated by her tormentor; her sorry plight only came to light early on Wednesday morning when her disbelieving and aghast mother saw the child bleeding profusely from her private parts and duly informed the child's father..........
Though initially shocked and bewildered beyond belief; the father of the battered child somehow managed to regain his wits and sanity and ended up taking his grievously injured daughter to the nearby government hospital where the doctors treating her informed her crestfallen parents that their bundle of delight had been sexually ravaged........
A humble and nondescript rickshaw puller by profession; the hospitalised girl's father recalled that their immediate neighbour's son had taken their daughter away on the pretext of taking her for a walk and buying her chocolates on the previous evening and then handed her back saying that she had fallen asleep during the course of the said activity.........
Suspecting that the 17 year old absconding youth who had not been seen since handing over the rape survivor to her parents; the incredulous father filed a police complaint against the youth alleging that he had sexually exploited his fledgling daughter at a neighbouring police station.......
Swinging into action with remarkable agility and alacrity; the local police authorities made a beeline towards the youth's residence and recorded the statements of his parents who confirmed that they had not seen their son since the fateful Tuesday evening.........
Spreading their dragnet far and wide; the police personnel involved in this investigation successfully managed to nab the accused from an adjoining forest area at around 3 pm or so and duly produced him before a judicial magistrate who remanded him to two weeks of judicial custody in a state run juvenile home..........
A case has been filed/booked against the 17 year old accused under section 376 (B) of the SC/ST act as well as the relevant and applicable sections of the POCSO Act; further action as deemed fit by the courts will be initiated once his initial two week long remand period draws to a closure.........
More than cause enough to revisit the existing juvenile justice laws and thoroughly overhaul them methinks; I for one firmly believe that the punishment handed down to the culprit should be commensurate with the gravity/severity of the offence committed by the culprit and also that age cannot be a mitigating/condoning factor in the cases of youths who are in complete control of all their faculties and more than capable of realising the enormity of the offence committed by them...........
