Despite stringent laws and punishment, it is shocking and disturbing to note the increase in number of cases where children are sexually assaulted by known persons, the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court observed while upholding the conviction of a man who had sexually assaulted a girl in 2010 in Pudukkottai district. Justice K. Murali Shankar observed that sexual assault of a girl child is the most heinous, barbaric and savage act. The right of the female child is always at peril. Such a brutal act creates a deep impact in the mind of the child, traumatises her for a long period or her entire life, affecting her physically as well as psychologically, the judge said.Amidst continuing protest over the murder of Anjali Ambiger in Hubballi, Home Minister G. Parameshwara, who visited the victim’s family on Monday, announced in a press conference that like the Neha Hiremath case, this too would be handed over to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) for inquiry.
