The Mamata Banerjee-led West Bengal government tabled an anti-rape bill in the state Assembly on Tuesday. The bill seeks to bring amendments to central laws dealing with offences of rape, gang-rape, and sexual assault.
Titled Aparajita Woman and Child (West Bengal Criminal Laws and Amendment) Bill 2024, the proposed amendments include punishing offences of rape and gang-rape with life in prison or death. The bill also provides for the death penalty for persons convicted of rape if their actions result in the victim’s death or leave her in a vegetative state.
