The father of the minor girl who was raped and murdered in Jammu & Kashmir’s Kathua has questioned why the accused chose to rape a minor girl for revenge. She was an innocent child,” he told the Indian Express, adding that the girl did not know the difference between left and right. Earlier, Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Mehbooba Mufti on Thursday announced to enact a new law to make rape of minors punishable by death. We will bring a new law that will make the death penalty mandatory for those who rape minors, so that little girl’s case becomes the last," Mehbooba tweeted. Earlier Mehbooba promised that the law will not be obstructed by the irresponsible actions and statements of a group of people.
