The Pune bus rape case has triggered a nationwide uproar, reigniting concerns over women’s safety in India. Former Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud on Thursday recalled the 2012 Nirbhaya case, emphasizing that laws alone won’t stop crimes against women—their proper implementation is crucial.
The brutal crime took place in Pune’s Swargate area, where a 26-year-old woman was allegedly raped by history-sheeter Dattatray Ramdas Gade (37) inside a Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) bus. The Pune Police have launched a massive manhunt, forming 13 teams to track down the accused.
Speaking at an event, Chandrachud pointed out that while India made major legal reforms post-Nirbhaya 2012, crimes against women remain a grave concern. “We cannot prevent such incidents by only having laws. Proper enforcement and social responsibility are equally important,” he stated.
The 2012 Nirbhaya gang rape case, which shocked the world, led to landmark legal changes, but the rising number of rape and sexual harassment cases in India raises serious questions about law enforcement and public safety.
As authorities intensify their crackdown in the Pune rape case, the bigger debate continues—Is stronger law enforcement or societal reform the real solution to ending violence against women?
