'Nirbhaya case led to changes, but…': Former CJI Chandrachud on Pune bus rape
By : Sandhya
As the investigation over the alleged rape of a woman inside a bus at Swargate depot of Maharashtra's Pune, calls for strictest punishment for the absconding accused are growing, with former Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud also raising a similar demand.
Amid mounting pressure from the opposition, which has likened the incident with the 2012 Delhi Nirbhaya gang rape, a frantic effort to crack the case is underway. Police have formed multiple teams to nab the history-sheeter accused, Dattatray Ramdas Gade (37), who has been on the run since the incident which took place on a Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) bus early Tuesday morning.
A reward of ₹1 lakh will be given to the person providing information about his whereabouts, news agency PTI quoted Pune police commissioner Amitesh Kumar. Former CJI DY Chandrachud on Thursday said a lot of changes were made in the laws following the 'Nirbhaya' incident, however, we can not prevent such incident by only having laws.
