Little girl fights for life

Three people were arrested at Lalbagh on charge of raping a girl. We find this kind of horrible news almost daily these days. People demand strict punishment of the culprits, but in very few cases do we come to know about any measures taken after a long time, if any. The victims of physical, sexual and acid attacks are usually women and children belonging to a certain strata of the society and they are mostly helpless.

The time has come to define what we mean by exemplary punishment. In Indonesia they are about to introduce a law to castrate perpetrators of such offenses. Bangladesh must take measures to specify penalties against these hideous crimes and act against the criminals immediately.
