Hyderabad rape accused must be hanged, demand several Rajya Sabha members

They also demanded death punishment to the accused.

Rising above their party politics, all the Members unanimously demanded the Government to revisit the policing and judicial systems which delays the punishment to guilty with legal tactics.

Several members, including Sanay Singh of AAP, have given notices under rule 267 but Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu said though he rejected notices given under rule 267 but sensing the sensitivity of the matter, he would allow a discussion in the House with a condition that no Member will name any state Government or the state.

'Despite the fact that this issue has already been discussed in the House several times, these incidents have not stopped. Many strict laws were enacted but even then these incidents have not been stopped and it seems that the fear of law has been lost,' Naidu said.

Initiating the debate, Leader of Opposition Gulam Nabi Azad said whenever this type of unfortunate incident happens in the country, it gets discussed in the House, strict laws get formed but unfortunately these laws have never been a deterrent.

'Therefore, to prevent these sort of incident, apart from the laws, policing and judicial system but there is need to take step on social front also,' Azad said.

Amee Yajnik of Congress also said there is a need to bring change at social and mental level of the society as enough tough laws have already enacted.

Amid widespread protest, the Telangana government has decided to set up fast track court in the case related to the alleged rape and murder of a veterinary doctor in the state.

Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao on Sunday instructed the officials to put the brutal rape-murder case of a veterinary doctor on a fast track and give stringent punishment to the culprits.

Rao has asked the officials concerned to take measures on the issue.
In the murder case of a minor girl in Warangal, due to setting up of the fast track court, the verdict came after 56-day trail.

Rao announced that the government would extend all necessary help and support to members of the victim's family.

Calling the incident a gruesome and inhuman act, the Chief Minister said he was upset that the perpetrators of such 'heinous crimes are living amidst us'.
