Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde addresses the media
Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde addressed the media after a fast-track trial court in Delhi gave the four men, convicted in the December 16 gang-rape case, the death sentence. Here are the highlights of what Mr Shinde said:
- Justice was given to the girl and her family
- Even earlier there have been such decisions where the death penalty has been given on rarest of rare cases
- After December 16, we saw the atmosphere in the country and we have implemented the Verma Committee recommendations
- No one can put pressure on the judicial authority
- We have also made amendments to the law to make stalking and harassment of other forms an offence
