Imphal, August 23 2022:
Democratic Students' Alliance of Manipur (DESAM) expressed deepest condolences on the death of the minor girl who was sexually assaulted by her own father multiple times.
While speaking to media persons during a press meet held at DESAM Head Office at Kwakeithel today, Oinam Surjakanta, Secretary Health and Environment, Democratic Students' Alliance of Manipur (DESAM) strongly denounced the heinous act and termed it as really unfortunate.
Such an act which is highly disgraceful may defile the society as it sets a bad example to all, he added.
Maintaining that similar incidents have occurred in the past, he stated that the accused persons have not been provided stringent punishments though many acts such as POCSO Act are in place.
In view of the rising cases of crime against women especially among young girls committed by their near and dear ones, O Surjakanta urged the authorities concerned to award capital punishments to the culprits to ensure that such crimes do not happen in future.
He also urged the investigating officers and Police Department to ramp up the investigation process and file the chargesheet at the earliest to deliver justice to the young victim.
