Following the tragic rape and murder of a three-year-old girl in Pune district, Maharashtra, Raj Thackeray (chief of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena) has called for the accused to face a 'cruel death.' He expressed outrage over the incident, labeling it 'spine-chilling' and criticized the state government's commitment to a fast-track trial, questioning the effectiveness of such measures. Thackeray highlighted the increasing rates of abduction and exploitation of women and girls in Maharashtra, urging for a deeper societal discussion on the root causes of these crimes. He attributed the rise in violence to a decline in the fear of law and a breakdown of societal values. Legal expert Asim Sarode countered Thackeray's demands, stating that while the accused will face the death penalty, calls for torture or dismemberment are illegal and undermine the justice system. In response to the ongoing outrage, Baramati MP Supriya Sule is set to meet Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to advocate for justice for the victim.
