Actress Raveena Tandon on Tuesday reacted to the appalling incident of a minor rape victim being paraded with the accused, after being beaten up by a mob in a Madhya Pradesh village. The video of the incident has gone viral.
Raveena tweeted demanding harsh punishment for the accused. She also hinted at a lack of trust in India’s legal system. She used the government’s “beti bachao” slogan in a hashtag.
“Appalling visuals. #betibachao. Hope the criminals even if they happen to be her own family members, are brought to justice and pay dearly for scarring the life of this 16-year-old. But then our courts ..that’s a different story. #injusticeagainstwomen #violenceagainstwomen,” the actress wrote.
In the tribal-dominated Alirajpur district of Madhya Pradesh, the rape victim, a 16-year-old girl, was paraded with the accused after being beaten up by a mob.
The police have registered a case against six people and arrested all the accused.
