‘If not death, jail for life was an option’: Parents of Chhawla gang-rape, murder victim on Supreme Court’s acquittal of convicts

Kailash says that the previous decisions of the courts below could not have been entirely wrong.

It is not as if the trial court did not read the case file before giving its verdict. Or, for that matter, without taking into account the testimonies. The Delhi High Court also examined it and gave its decision.

I cannot accept the fact that the convicts were acquitted on the basis of evidence. Where was the evidence for all these years? I keep thinking about the case all the time. I don’t want anyone to go through such an experience,” said Kailash as he wiped the sweat and tears off his face. 

According to him, releasing criminals convicted of serious crimes would only enable them to commit more crimes with total abandon, without any fear of the law. 

Releasing such perpetrators offers a breeding ground for more like them,” he said.
