Will the woman and child development minister Maneka Gandhi put her money where her mouth is and get the much debated amendments to the juvenile justice act passed in the forthcoming winter session of Parliament.........
This has been necessitated by the plethora of sexual assaults perpetrated by marauding and misguided juveniles all over the country off late.........
In the latest such instance; a 15 year old girl who had taken temporary shelter/refuge behind a temple in east Delhi's Shashi Garden area in order to ward off a purported attack by a pack of stray dogs was brutally sexually violated by a fellow juvenile late on Thursday afternoon.........
This sexual predator who chanced upon the fearful girl who had ventured behind the said temple while returning after purchasing essentials from a neighbouring grocery shop boldly approached her and beseeched her to take refuge within the even safer confines of his adjoining home and forcibly pulled her into the same when she refused to do so........
He then proceeded to rain a few blows on her in an effort to subdue her and subsequently sexually assaulted the teenager after having successfully subdued her; he then let her wander off in the general direction off her home and hearth but not before threatening her with the threat of gruesome bodily harm if she as much as let a whimper out about the sordid fate that had befallen her...........
Somehow or the other; the bedraggled; devastated and desolate survivor reached her home and tearfully spilled the beans to her disbelieving and distraught mother on being questioned about the undue delay in returning from her errand..........
Keeping her wits about her; the doughty survivor's mother firstly informed her husband about the heinous deed perpetrated on their hapless daughter and then made her way to the Pandav Nagar police station with her husband and daughter in tow...........
The trio then proceeded to register a written complaint against the accused under the applicable and relevant sections of both the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act as well as the Indian Penal Code (IPC); as is customary in all such cases; the teenager was sent for a series of tests to a nearby government hospital where the tests carried out on her conclusively established the occurrence of rape..........
Swinging into action as soon as the complaint was registered the Pandav Nagar police slkeuths constituted a team to nab the accused at the earliest and adroitly succeeded in their attempts to do so when they successfully managed to nab him from a neighbour's house at around 5 pm or so on the fateful Thursday evening..........
He (the accused) who also happens to be a confirmed drug addict was then produced before the juvenile justice board which duly remanded him to a juvenile correctional facility in which he will be spending the next two years or so as he claims that his age is 16 and also asks for his daily fix of alcohol and drugs in the same breath..........
Will our politicians shed their age old sense of prevarication and dilly dallying and pass the necessary amendments to the existing acts pertaining to heinous crimes committed by juveniles as the numbers of such acts committed by this class is not only alarmingly increasing but also showing no signs of dissipation........
