YSRCP government has approved a bill that is proposed to take action against culprits who resort to crimes against women. On the opening day of assembly meetings, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy said that he was moved by Disha issue and then decided to come up with a serious act against the crimes.
As said, he introduced a bill today which punishes the culprits within 21 days of the incident. Jagan named the act as “AP Disha Act” in remembrance of Veterinary doctor Disha who was brutally gang raped and murdered by four people in Hyderabad.
The AP Cabinet amended the IPC section 354 and added a new clause 354-E to this section. The police will investigate the rape cases within a week and submit a detailed report to FasTrack court through the latest act. After conducting the trails in the second week and if the crime is proved, the culprits will then be awarded with the death sentence.
