Befitting verdict

Mahesh Kumar
Sir — It is good that the convicts in the Delhi gang rape case have got the death sentence. The number of rape cases in India is shockingly high and increasing. The way to avoid the proliferation of such terrible crimes is to implement stringent punishment. 
Are such criminals not worse than terroristsIJ Both are involved in heinous acts. The only appropriate punishment is the death penalty. There is no scope here for humane considerations, which some of our activists continuously speak of.
