The recent surge in rape cases have led to the approval of the death penalty for the rapists of minors by the Cabinet Minister and the President has signed off on it.
But despite this law coming into existence, the crime still continues
A 13-year-old minor was allegedly sexually assaulted by a group of four men near a temple in Haryana’s Yamunanagar on Sunday.
The incident occurred when the girl’s parents were away. The minor was sleeping in her house with her siblings when the men barged into her house and kidnapped her.
They then took the girl to an area near a temple and allegedly raped her. The men then smashed the girl’s head on the temple wall, before fleeing, leaving her unconscious.

On learning about the incident, the girl’s parents filed an FIR under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
The relative of the minor told a leading news channel that she was traumatized by the incident and called for strict action against the culprits.
Yamunanagar police station house officer (SHO) Shela said, “Medical test of the victim has been done. We have registered the case and an investigation is underway. A search operation is on to nab the culprits.”
On Saturday, 4 incidents of sexual assault have been recorded in different parts of Uttar Pradesh.
We have been taught to hate the crime and not the criminal, but isn’t it kind of hard to do it?
