Karnataka will seek death sentence for rapists: Umashree
- 5 years ago
The Karnataka state government will recommend the Centre to award capital punishment to rapists, said Umashree, the Minister for Women and Child Welfare.
Umashree was in Chitradurga to attend a preliminary meeting to discuss the State-level meeting of Sthree Shakti Sanghas.
After the meeting, the minister was besieged by the members of the district unit of the Akhila Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishat (ABVP), in front of the Zilla Panchayat auditorium. The members handed her a memorandum demanding capital punishment to rapists.
Umashree said that since the states government did not enjoy the powers to take any crucial decision in this regard, it would appeal the Central government.
Comparing rapists to wild beasts, the minister said ever since the Congress government came to power, the police had been warned to handle such cases with an iron hand.
