Suppose, you have a sister or daughter who does an independent job. One day she was raped brutally , not only that her spinal cord was cut ,her head was about to fall apart, and her organs burnt . After three days' struggle for life , she was rescued .

What will be your feelings after seeing her? Surely, you will vow to take revenge on the culprits who have done so with your sister or daughter. Do you want to wait for an indefinite period for justice through our lengthy legal process ? Don't you want such punishment which will rock other criminals' minds so strongly that they will dare not commit such a heinous crime again ? But unfortunately, we don't have such a law here. We need harsh laws for the barbarians . The men who raped and killed Rahela should be executed in an open place.
