"Rapist should be punished either by convicting life imprisonment or by handing over to the public so that women of the state can feel a sense of security", the students' leader said.
"We are now in such a situation that we are afraid to walk out of home as there are possibilities of committing the heinous crime to us as these rapists never get the kind of punishment they deserved", She said.
