Cruelty against women in Kerala mounting, strong action should be taken


There can be no justification for the rape and murder of Jisha in Perumbavoor in Kerala, which is nothing but the epitome of cruelty. The woman was aspiring to become a lawyer in spite of financial handicaps.. She had no house, no toilets at home, no regular income.

The killer or killers are still at large, after the heinous act has been committed a few days ago.
Now reports say a nursing student was gang-raped at Varkala.
Worse still, an old woman was raped in Chirayinkeezh, according to reports.

Is it that women can be attacked like this and in some cases killed.

Denial of punishment at the right time is adding to the propensity to commit such crimes, it seems.
