The Gang-rape that occurred on Sunday night of 16^th December at Delhi has fumed a nation-wide anger, frustration and mass protests by people of all caste and communities. The incident, which is being called as one of most shocking and heinous act in the country, has distressed everyone and an immediate call for reforming the law is appealed by common Indians.

A deep discussion on how to stop such inhuman acts and how Indian law should act on accused rapists was the topic of discussion at Mohan Singh Mehta Memorial Trust where several educationists, social workers, students and professionals gathered to share their views on the sensitive subject.

Professor S.B Lal said, “Not only is a strict law but an immediate action also is required to curb crime against women.”

While sharing his view, Vijay S Mehta, President of Dr. Mohan Singh Mehta Memorial Trust said, “Such incidents could be stopped by instilling moral values through family”.

Nand Kishore Sharma, secretary of the trust said, “The incident of rape is not just a sick and heinous crime but also a social offense and family, education institute, police and legal system are equally responsible for this.”
