The repercussions of a gangrape and murder case in Ahmednagar district were felt in the Maharashtra legislature on the second day too. Two leaders even went on to the extent of blaming the recent Marathi blockbuster Sairat for the rising incidents of sexual violence in the state.

BJP's Manisha Choudhary demanded that Marathi movie Sairat should be banned as it influenced the teenagers to get into premarital sexual relationship.

"The movie is having a bad influence on teenager. Because of the movie and there is a subsequent rise in rape cases," said Choudhary.

MOVIE SHOWED POLITICIANS IN BAD LIGHT

Bhaskar Jadhav of the NCP too blamed the movie for spreading hatred among two castes. "Such movies always show the local politicians in bad light. They also widen the gap between the castes. The government should pay more attention to it," he said.

The opposition blatantly accused chief minister Devendra Fadnavis of callousness in handling of the law and order situation in the state. Fadnavis, however, assured that the government will take all measures to ensure justice to the victim's family. The legislators from both treasury and opposition benches came up with ideas to tackle the growing rape incidences in the state.



RAPISTS SHOULD BE RENDERED IMPOTENT

Neelam Gorhe from Shiv Sena suggested that the government should perform a surgery on the rape accused to make them impotent. "Even if the rape cases are tried in a fast track court there should be a time line to complete the trial," she added.

Leader of opposition in the legislative council Dhananjay Munde demanded that the accused in the rape and murder case should be tried in a fast track court and hanged in public. "If you fail to take the action in four months we will take law in our hands," Munde warned the government.

Fadnavis informed the Vidhan Sabha that the government had formed a team of five experts from the forensic laboratory to collect evidence in this case. "Their report will be used in the court to fast track the trial. We will demand death sentence for the convicts in this case," he said.

SPECIAL INVESTIGATION TEAM TO PROBE RAPE CASE

Fadnavis also announced that Pune Police Commissioner Rashmi Shukla will be a part of the Special Investigation Team (SIT). He said that Shukla will meet the victim's family and ensure that they get every possible help.

The police have so far arrested three people for allegedly raping and killing a 15-year-old student. The girl's dead body was found with human bite marks. Her limb was broken and both hands were dislocated from the shoulders.
