Sushmita Tiwari, an educator at Delhi Public School, Ghaziabad and a former Radio Jockey, says the full truth must come to light in the RG Kar rape-murder case — no matter how grim. Her views:
The assault on the lady doctor in Kolkata is profoundly shocking and deeply painful to think about. As a woman, it’s unbearable to imagine the suffering she has endured and the fear and anguish she must have felt in her final moments. Such acts of violence are a stark reminder of the cruelty that continues to exist in some sick individuals, showing a level of brutality that is almost beyond comprehension.
Mamata Banerjee and her police reacting late add to the trauma for the victim’s family. When the institutions meant to protect us appear to hesitate, or, attempt to downplay such horrors, it feels like another betrayal. I feel they are trying to cover up and get rid of the evidence.
The possibility that more than one man is involved is chilling, and, if true, it only deepens the atrocity. Women already live with enough fear — knowing that such monsters might work in packs is unbearable.
The rumour of an organ-trading mafia’s involvement, if accurate, takes this crime to an even darker place. While it’s essential to thoroughly investigate every angle, spreading unverified rumours can also harm the pursuit of justice. What’s clear is that the full truth must come to light — no matter how grim.
As for the death penalty, it’s a contentious issue. While some see it as a necessary deterrent, others believe it doesn’t address the root causes of male violence. What is certain is that justice must be severe, swift, and unambiguous in its message.
There is no tolerance for such barbarism in any society that claims to value its women. Indeed, no words can adequately capture my feelings about this incident. It is profoundly distressing and deeply shameful to witness such an atrocity.
