Bhubaneswar,December 6 (LocalWire):While Telangana Police’s act of carrying out an encounter of the four accused in the rape and murder of a veterinarian in Hyderabad was received with cheer across the State, Odisha law minister today hailed the encounter killing describing it as a ‘justful act’ and sought for amendment of act to make punishment more stringent for rape offence.
“Hyderabad police had done the right thing. The accused persons had committed a henuous crime. Police act is fully justified.
They were forced to gun down the offenders who were trying to flee”, said Pratap Jena State law minister.
Penal provisions with regard to offences like rape and women-related need to be made more stringent as it is the case in other countries, he said adding that the State government is adopting zero-tolerance towards rape crimes which are being referred fast track courts for speedy trial.
