Sad “NIRBHAYA” verdict

Barbie doll found at the house of innocent helpless Nirbhaya home .Medical evidence charts the hellish misery and trauma inflicted upon the prosecutrix before her death. Incontrovertibly also, the pain of an unparalleled order was inflicted on her family and her companion who were compelled to watch her die many deaths before being certified dead.

The offence in the present case has indubitably been committed in an extremely fiendish, demoniac, barbaric and nefarious manner. Also the manner in which the offence has been committed is demonstrative of exceptional licentiousness and perversion of a superlative degree. Further, the time, place, manner of execution and the motive behind the commission of the crime speaks volumes of the premeditated and callous nature of the offence.

The barbarity with which the internal organs of the victim were pulled out with bare hands coupled with the twisting of iron rods through every orifice in her body exhibits outlandish mental perversion not worthy of human condonation.

What makes matters worse is that debauchery, avarice, profligacy and viciousness appear to be the compelling forces behind the commission of the crime.

Nirbhaya and her friend were left there to die in a cold winter night with no ray of hope in sight to get any assistance from the moving vehicles or passers- by to come to their rescue. Perhaps the convicts were familiar with the insensitive attitude of this city. They were dumped nude thinking no one would help them and they themselves would be ashamed to get up and seek help.

“ While the delicate physique of a woman has made her vulnerable, her place and role in the growth of society has made her command respect. These characteristics of a woman have been depicted by great Hindi poet Jai Shankar Prasad in Kamayani : Yeh aaj samajh to paayi hoon/ Main durbalta mein nari hoon/ Avyay ki sunder komalta/ Lekar main sabse haari hoon.
