Talking about the PIL, producer Siddharth Jain says, “Post the audience verdict in terms of voting, I would personally want to file a PIL seeking a change of law.
Capital punishment is important to deter rapists, even if theu00a0survivouru00a0survives. Giving 14 years in jail for a rapist is not a strong punishment for brutal rape incidents.
Stricter law and enforcement of law is the need of the hour. Juvenile punishment for rape crimes needs to be re-looked at again by the people in power.”u00a0
