Women Rights Commission praises police, Guj govt

 The one-member delegation of National Women Rights Commission today praised city police for their alertness in nabbing the offenders of gangrape case within hours and expressed hope that the Gujarat government would conduct their trial in fast track court for early justice to the rape victim.



Talking to media persons, Manju Hembrom, who was on a visit here to assess the situation post the incident, said observations found during the visit will be compiled into a report which will be submitted to Union Home Ministry.



‘Commission wants that the trial should be held in a fast track court rather than Sessions or High Court to dispense early justice to the victim as it happened with gangrape case in Rajasthan, last year. If state government des not move the case in fast track, the Commission might bring suo motto in this matter to force state government. Due to 14 days remand of the three offenders, it might take 15 more days to move case in the court,’ she said.



Blaming tuition classes for the improper timings of tuitions, Ms Hembrom asked the state government to place a ban on early morning tuitions. 



‘If girl’s tuition classes had proper timings, then the incident could have been averted,’ she observed.



She also held parents of the offenders responsible for not monitoring their activities.



‘Parents should keep a watch upon the activities of their kids, to prevent them from doing anti-social activities. In this case too, parents had a loose hand upon their kids, which spoiled them to such an extent,’ she added.



Earlier, Ms Hembrom met the gangrape victim and her family members and later held a meeting with city police officials, leaders and intellectuals, where she discussed the progress of the case and asked police officials to complete investigation in due time.
