The shocking incident of a Tanzanian woman student who was beaten up and stripped by a mob, has shamed us globally. Rapes, molestation and crimes against women are on the rise and a record number of incidents are registered in Bangalore alone, which is known the world over as an IT hub.
Outraging the modesty of a woman is a grave crime, and the law and order machinery cannot be a silent spectator to this form of abuse and criminality.
Cases involving crimes against women should be tried in fast-track courts for speedier justice. Stringent punishment should be handed over to people convicted of such crimes so that the right message goes out unequivocally to our society.
