And finally Aruna shanbaug died.

Sad state of living in vegetative state for more than 42 years really something very sad state of life and first to know the culprit is still alive with another name and living what a pity.

There are several loose ends in our IPC. Culprits are using these loophole to their advantage.

That happened in the age where there is no alert electronic media and perhaps if that happens in current times this would have a different story altogether.

Law was there. Law was there even before 40 years. And the investigation was taken much later.

Active media not there otherwise such loopholes would be highlighted and compelling such authorities to take due action in due time.

A very very wrong impression you have . most of the Popular media existed more than 60 yeras . The Hindu is an example.

Again another wrong impression you have I am talking about electronic medias and activism of medias. Such cases would not go uncovered for so many years. Take the case of Sashi Tharoor case due to presence of active electronic media and internet such as twitter, forums, fb and blogs such incidents continue to be highlighted time and again.

Why electronic media ? Can't the print media cannot deliver the things? In fact the initial news was published 40 years ago not by electronic media. But by print media.

No print media have not delivered on that time, you know it and why you asking me ask why they failed so, for denied justice to her and I was just saying even the presence of electronic media with lively journalists there this incidents should have seen the light of the day. Electronic media was not there and how could they publish it only DD probably was there, This is simple nothing complex about it.

This is also simple that print Media also can deliver the things.

Here too I agree with @mohan. In those days media was not like it is today. Definitely the culprit may have got the right punishment if it would have been the recent case.

Sorry. Media was there since more than. See the list of News papers in this list.

It is not a good sign of a working legal system. How harsh it is that the person continuous to live such freely after committing such a horrendous act.

The culprits use the loopholes in the Criminal procedures. In this case the culprit is the ward boy. He raped her and destroyed all the evidence not leaving a single trace. This is how not only the concerned ward boy , but many such law breakers are roaming scot-free after committing such heinous crimes.

I don't understand one thing, then how this news people know he is the person.. Even if it sounds silly please respond as i am unable to get this onething. :-p

Circumstantial evidence, Everybody knows  who is the perpetrator of the crime. But there is no proof to prove in the court of law.

CCTV was not there at that time. There would have been enough proof if technology was there at that time. As Mohan said there were not much news channels like we have today which make a small news too a big news.

With all the news channels and the latest technology, do you think all the criminal cases are solved ? There are several cases lying unresolved.

The fact is " The criminal is always  stay a step ahead of the Law."

 

 

That's true but still there would have been chances of evidences if there were CCTV in those days.
