MY CORNER
crime amitabh thakur
The concept of burden of
proof shifts to the accused, both legally and socially. This is the real threat
and danger involved in the crime and herein lies the need for having a relook
at the criminal provisions related with it
Life is known to have huge and startling surprises in
store for all of us. One such bolt from the blue knocked on our door on
January 17 when a journalist from a lesser known newspaper in Lucknow
called my wife, saying that a Ghaziabad woman had accused me of raping her and
he wanted my wife’s reaction, and mine, to this news.
This
definitely was news to us as well—completely bizarre and unthought-of. The
story narrated as regards this alleged rape was akin to a political pot-boiler.
This woman had approached the UP State Women Commission alleging that some
politician got her acquainted with us in Ghaziabad and my wife, Nutan, called
her to Lucknow, falsely luring her with the promise of a job.
