Dec 16 Gang Rape

The Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) today said the High Court's refusal to stay the release of the juvenile convict in the December 16 gangrape case was a "dark day" in the history of the country and it would appeal against his release.

A verdict in the case of the Delhi gang-rape, which provoked a symmetry of national anger and grief, is likely to be delivered in the middle of September.

"Sir, some men are following me", "My husband thrashed me again, please save me" - these are some of the 2,000 calls that Delhi Police Special Commissioner Sudhir Yadav has dealt with since a special helpline was activated in the wake of the Dec 16, 2012, gangrape of a 23-yar-old physiotherapist.
