I salute the girl's courage to write a letter to the President. I appreciate rediff.com for putting up the story on its website. It is a shameful fact but raping and threatening the victim with dire consequences are a normal thing in our country. The entire social apparatus is mired with sex and caste based violence. The President should order the home ministry to look into the matter and bring the culprits to justice. I also urge the news channels to take up the issue so that anyone who thinks of inciting such a crime on any girl should fear of being exposed on national television.
