Bilkis Bano’s Convicted Rapists Welcomed Back To Society With Sweets And Open Arms, A Day After Call To Support Nari Shakti

Sometimes it feels terrible to see unacceptable things happening in our Indian society especially when it comes to the safety and justice of women. In times, when the collective voice of empowering women is going strong, there are events that again make our society take a step back in all the progress that has been made. The most recent example of this is the release of 11 accused in the Bilkis Bano rape case.  A decision that is not only disturbing but also makes you question the justice system in India. The horrifying case of human torture now sees an end by setting free the 11 rapists involved in the crime. Not only this, but the viral video on social media shows them being welcomed with sweets and all we ask is how can their release be celebrated. Does not society not remember their crime?

The Bilkis Bano rape case happened in the year 2002 after the Godhra train riot in Gujarat. Bilkis Bano was raped by 11 men and 6 of her family members were also killed. The crime had sent shock waves in the country. Now, the picture and reaction to it are completely different. The 11 rapists accused in the case were set free by the judiciary after one of them had moved to court with a plea for their release. As per reports, a committee had been set up on orders by the Supreme Court to take a decision on this request. After a few months of trials, the committee set the rapists free in the Bilkis Bano case. On Monday, the 11 accused came out of the Godhra jail after more than 15 years of imprisonment. In the video doing rounds on social media, you can see the accused being welcomed with sweets and tika


The decision of allowing culprits of such a horrific crime to roam free in society was definitely not given much thought. How can the justice system give this freedom to rapists at a time when India is already seeing a rise in crimes against women? Moreover, the fact that they are being welcomed with open arms shows the more distressing and disturbing picture of our society. The fact that their crime has been forgotten by not only the judiciary but the people as well is totally unacceptable. The video shows the happiness of their people as the 11 accused come out of jail. They are rapists and this fact can never be forgotten. The decision of releasing the Bilkis Bano rapists has created an outrage in the county and many people have come forth to speak against it.
