Remember the story of one Indian girl raped in a bus by 4 boys in 2012? If yes, Read the excuse one of the rapist claims he had for raping her.
The heartbroken
parents of Jyoti Singh, a 23-year-old medical student who was raped and killed
on a bus in Dehi in 2012, have spoken of their 'dismay' that one of their
daughter's attackers was given airtime in a controversial new film screened by
the BBC.
His
comments have left Jyoti's parents devastated - not least, because they are a
reminder that their daughter's attackers, four of whom were sentenced to death,
are even still breathing.
In
their first international interview since the film was released two weeks ago
amid a storm of controversy, Jyoti's father Badrinath Singh, said: 'What deeply
affects us is that Mukesh is still alive and is giving such statements. We just
want him to be hanged soon.
'His statements don't mean anything. He is
guilty of a crime and is facing a sentence. He will blame anybody to hide his
mistake.
'If
a girl is responsible for being raped because she went out at 9pm at night, why
do these kind of things also happen in schools?
'What
have the six-year-old school girls who are raped done? How are they
responsible? They don't roam at night.
'The
time doesn't matter. Should the girls not work? And not study? They should just
stay at home? How will the society work in such a way?'
Jyoti's rape, and subsequent death, horrified the world after the
details began to emerge in December 2012.
The
young medical student had gone to Dehli's most popular shopping mall to watch
Life of Pi with her male friend, Awindra Pandey.
The
two began to make their way home at about 9.30pm, accepting a lift from
off-duty charter bus driver, Singh.
But
instead of driving the friends home, the bus deviated from its route - and what
unfolded at the hands of the bus's six other occupants over the next
hour-and-a-half was so horrendous, it beggars belief.
